Greetings All,
Though this is in fact a request , it does not fit the parameters of a full mod request , and I am floating it in the Lounge as a result. If it is more appropriate elsewhere , please move it.
I am developing an SEOW (Scorched Earth Online War) Campaign for Operation Toenails , the Allied reconquest of the New Georgia Island group in the Solomon Islands in June - July 1943.
One of the elements of the campaign was CarDiv22 (Carrier Division 22) consisting of the 3 Sangamon Class Escort Carriers CVE-26 Sangamon , CVE-27 Suwannee , and CVE-28 Chenango.
These doughty "Jeep" Carriers , modified in need from the Cimarron Class of Tankers , served by delivering Supplies . Troops and Aircraft replacements to Guadalcanal , as well as covering the ground campaign. They operated between the New Hebrides , Guadalcanal and the Slot.
I am wondering if a modder out there can change the deck numbers of the US CVEs included in HSFX 7 ,
the Casablanca CVE55 , Kitkun Bay CVE71 , Shamrock Bay CVE84 , to those of the CVEs in question - CVE26 , CVE27 , CVE28.
As an alternative , how about any one of the CVE's with no deck number - the net shows many photos of CVEs in service without deck numbers , and this might serve as a more versatile ship for campaign builders in this way. Call it "CVE Generic" , or something like it.
Thanks for your consideration.
