This is an OUTSTANDING MOD but just wanted too as.

Behind every method, there is a madness... er, uh...
- that doesn't sound correct... lol
but seriously, the SH4 game has an undocumented "feature", to where you HAVE to have a warship for every "country" represented in the game, placed in the Recognition Manual, and that includes the Red Cross designation. Therefore, there are four Red Cross vessels, 3 that show as merchants, and one that shows as a "warship". Most of the ships in FotRSU are "GENERIC" calls, and hospital ships are generally low-percentage at that, in the area of a 10-15% of the time. The one that is a registering as a warship though, is a specific call, but should generally be no more than about a 33% show tops, but a few of the convoys will have a high-percentage call. The Japanese did use this "technique" during the war, as well as sending them out "solo", loaded with war-goods. However, in the game, a Red Cross ship is a neutral, and Tokyo Rose will give you what for, along with Nimitz and Lockwood... or Christie, or Fife, or whomever... "Eetsah Catch-uh Twenty-Two-uh"
