Servus,

 

Is there a way to edit the localization or even better to edit the types.

 I destroyed one of those "higgins boats" and it was noted in the debriefing as destroyer.

Is there an ID in any file I have to edit to change it to a ship type or maybe a custom type, however I guess this would effect also its function?

 

I know the basic translation has to be done in the messages files, which are line sensitive, but editing here wouldnt change the type of an object of course.

 

As you've already deduced, the message file contains all the various localizations.  Unfortunately, the unit types are pretty generic and probably could have a few more types listed.  I deliberately kept it generic when I first created the list - to save work and (at the time) there were less types. 

 

Maybe it's time to revisit them....

Ok no Problem buddy.

Let me know if I can do some pre-work for ya.

Will do.
