Battleship cerbs use the Rheinland Gunboat Forward Gun projectile effect, you change that and you'll also change the gunboat forward gun. Moreover, Battleship cerbs also use the impact and muzzleflash effects from the transport cerbs, rheinland gb primaries and cruiser primaries. Basically, you have two different .ale files that'd require changing. And by changing I mean that you'd have to merge these 2 .ales in order to create a dedicated .ale for Battleship cerbs, add the gun entry to various .inis, hope that it worked and then you can start to recolor them. Congratulations you have the first recolored Battleship cerb done, now you have to copy it, change some things in the .ale, add another new gun entry in the .inis, recolor it again...........................
In other words, it's an awful lot of annoying work for a minor cosmetic change.
