SHIP CONVERSIONS
(a)
Certain Ship Class are used within WITP itself. The ones I show below are the ones used when converting Large AK ships at the player's Home base.
Converting the AK type to
type.........IJN ship class#..................USN ship class#
AE............92 (Kashino).....................353 (Pyro)
AR............90 (Akashi).......................357 (Vulcan)
AS............106(Nagoya Maru).............375 (Otus)
AV............56 (Akitsushima)...............261 (Tangier)
MLE..........108(Large MLE)..................359 (Large MLE)
AD...........[NONE]..............................381 (Dixie)
If the new conversion Ship Class does not exist, the game crashed on me.
Also, the new conversion class does not have to be an auxilliary type. I change class# 92 to have Yamato's values. When I converted to AEs, I got a string of BBs in the pipeline.
The conversion class from a PG/LST to AGP is class# 384(Dixie).
(b)
The Ise conversion converts the ship #s 51 and 52 to the ship class# 514. The ships do not actually have to been upgraded to the latest Ise class, or even a BB class!. I changed the ship #51 to a Hosho CVE and allowed the AI to convert the ship. It showed in the building pipeline as a converted Ise BB class (514).
The Chitose conversion converts the ship #s 37 and 38 to ship class# 560.
Both of these conversions seem to work on the actual ship numbers not the class number. Creating extra ships base on the original un-converted class do NOT seem to get converted.
