I am putting together a mod that will change around the names of generic units. Currently it looks like this: (WARNING: early version)
<I> = Interceptor
<E> = Escort
<M> = Multirole
I am thinking about changing the following from and to:
Pre-1936: to Advanced Biplane
Basic Fighter: to Early Monoplane
Improved Fighter: to Improved Monoplane
Advanced Fighter: to Advanced Monoplane
Or something to that order.
Instead of Pre-War (which can mean anything from 1919-1939), I put Pre-1936 (based on an original start year of 1936). I also changed around ship types. For battleships, the titles of 150mm+ and 350mm+ made no sense (150mm = 8", basically cruiser armament, while 350mm = 14", the basic armament of battleships post WW1). So, I now have 1910 Era Battleship (1900-1919 or WW1 Designs), 1920 Era Battleship (1920-1929 Pre-Washington Treaty Designs) and 1930 Era Battleship (1930-39 Modern Washington Treaty Designs).
I might do something like this...
(Cruisers)
WW1 Era Cruiser
London Treaty Cruiser (max guns 8", max size 10 000t)
(Carriers)
Post-War Era Carrier
Washington Treaty Carrier (max size 20 000t)
(Battleships)
WW1 Era Battleship
Post-War Era Battleship
Washington Treaty Battleship (max guns 16", max size 30 000t)
(Instead of London or Washington Treaty, I might just have Treaty)
I am doing further changes to all of the other types of units, for a better description of what they actually were. I have not really touched on aircraft other then fighters, and many of the ships or tanks (just a few beginnings here). I plan to leave land troops alone.
