Chinese Gunboats illegal design

[euchrejack]

So, trying to create a true Imperial Chinese Navy legacy fleet, I was looking up their Flat-iron gunboats, of which I believe they had several at the turn of the 20th century.  These ships are less than 500 tons and have a single main gun of between 6.7" and 15".  From what I can tell, they're impossible to make under the current ship classifications.

...granted, that is not necessarily improper per se, as the game wasn't designed around the Imperial Chinese Navy and their failed naval designs.  But its somewhat frustrating, as the tactical problem of the Imperial Chinese Navy was not purely its low budget and large seafront, but also the garbage that they inherited and couldn't afford to get rid of immediately.

Many real world ships do not fit into the classifications of RTW2, but if you classify them as CAs and select no when they ask to change type you can still have them luckily

I actually wasn't aware that I could override the automatic classification. Thanks seawolf!
