Q-ship conversion

[Helpless]

Always thought that Q-ship is just AK with guns. However later they appear in the list as CLs with no capacity [&:]

That's not a Q-ship, but a Commerce Raider. It has to be a CL, so it can be put into a Surface Combat TF.

Initially converted it was like that:

That second one is the Q-ship, meant for sub-hunting. The first one is a Commerce Raider, meant for attack cargo ships. It's a mistake that the two of them are so similar in their designation when looking at the list of AK conversions. They're two entirely different vessels.

The Q ship AK converts to a Q ship that is an AK. The Q ship ML (a hangover from the old beta) converts to a Commerce Raider/Auxilliary Cruiser that is a CL.

When Mike looks at the code again, I'll have him change it. Meant to sooner, but we were on a bit of a deadline with WiE, and so ASW and Surface Combat stuff took precedence.

Originally, both were to be Q ships, one with mines (the ML), the other without. However, I figured we could take the minelaying one, and let it be a raider by giving it a CL designation.

Thanks Guys! [&o]

This is conversion to ML generates CL... Already forgot that I did convert them... [:)]

Then one more question:

Is this Auxilliary Criuser be good for ASW? i.e. will sub try to make surface attack on it, as in case with AK(Q-ship).

[Tankerace]

Not really.

The Aux Cruiser is for Convoy escort, hunting down enemy Q ships, and for laying mines. Subs can attack them on the surface (like any ship), but not as much as a Q ship.
