Is it possible to change this in the editor?

I asked a similar question already earlier, and (I think) Bill said it is "capped at 3" for DD's, but he also said this might be changed. I just wondered whether I myself can do such a change via the editor.

The reason for all this is the rather "upside-down" Atlantic Battle in this game; the longer the war lasts (and thus the higher ASW is researched by each side) the more difficult it gets for the defender (i.e. the destroyers) against the U-Boats; once they reach level 4 or 5, and you're stuck with your level 3 destroyers, sinking U-Boats becomes near impossible, as they almost always manage to dive away.

This is THE "issue" I have with this game - it's definitely not a game-breaker, but it bugs me nonetheless

In the standard game Destroyer max upgrades are Naval Warfare level 2,Anti-Air level 2 & Anti-Sub level 3.

Screenshot from standard game.



I'm positive during playtesting my mod during the later stages of the war all my Destroyers were upgraded to level 5 across the board for Naval Warfare,Anti-Air & Anti - Sub.

A big THANK YOU, Kirk!
