How to change default unit names?

[Der Kuenstler]

I would like to change the default list of U-boat names that appears on my purchase list to include the last name of famous commanders - is there a way to do that?

Yes, and it is very easy, although requires a few steps.

First, you may want to glance at this thread if you already haven't, in order to get an idea of the folder locations.

Then, open the Editor, and open the 1939 Campaign. Now Save It with a different name so that you can Edit it.

Now go to Campaign > Edit Country Data > Click on Germany in the upper left box > Click on Edit Unit Build Data > Click on Sub over near the right. Now you will see all the sub names on the right, and you can Edit them in the Red Circled box. As you can see, I have renamed them all.

Not e that there may be Scripts and/or Queues that still contain the stock names, and therefore some Subs may show up during the game with the old names. If that happens, get back to us and we can show you how to avoid that.
