Amazing Mod, thought I am confused on ship naming. Maybe it my OCD but the lack of a coherent naming scheme does throw me off a but. Mainly I'm very confused on the "Oyama Iwao" class, it fits no naming scheme and feels more like a name from something relating to fantasy. The IJN named their battleships after ancient provinces or alternate/archaic names for Japan so this name sticks out like a sore thumb.

This isn't meant to be an insult, just a bit confused. Other than that it an amazing mod.

Ah, well, yes, these icons are always going to attract scrutiny. I accept that. Please wait for the update - it's even more depth, more chrome, and more choices. A lot more stages of aircraft development and late was some serious choices for Japan though they are not all as good as they seem in terms of building the planes esp. And a large Art update.

Yes, that naming scheme is very different for some late-war ships - I am always open to suggestions, but in this case, these two ships, which are the Super Yamato's, do differ too much to be called that, really so... ( which have again been modified in the new update ) are named after iconic commanders like -

Originally, I wanted some new art, but the one I found was not really what I wanted. Then recently I found a much better one, but there was a problem with that, and now it's fixed, so I used the opportunity to update these two.

Should be out late this week as waiting for new update on art from Viberpol otherwise it will have to wait a week as on hols in Portugal - and I want this to be the last serious update as its been going nearly 5 years now.

Thanks for the interest in the mod indeed.
