Destroyer Escorts: MIA?

[Tankerace]

I had asked this question earlier, and no one seemed to know so I'll ask it again. Where are the Destroyer Escorts in the game. In the database, it has the Evarts, Rudderrow, and Buckley classes, but the aren't present in any of the scenarios. Why is this? I know its not that Im just not receiving them, as after checking the scenario databases with the editor I discovered they aren't even there. So where are they, and why can't we use them? Thanks.

Although the US had been producing DEs from Nov 42 many of the earlier one went to GB with Lend Lease. It wasn't until the last 6 months of 1943 that DEs started to entered the Pacific theatre in any numbers. I would't expect to see any DE until around Jun 43.

I agree, but the problem is Even in December of 43 (scen 17) I hadn't received one DE, and they are no where in the scenario file (look in the editor). I know I should get them until late, but the problem is I am not getting them at all.
