The difference between SH4 and 5 is that in 5 many of the ships use more than one texture for the diffuse maps.

Those can be found in SilentHunter5\data\Textures\TNormal\tex

For example, Black Swan Sloops uses the following textures:

ship_T02.dds
ship_N02.dds
ship_hull_T02.dds
ship_hull_N02.dds

Beware! Some of them are shared between multiple ships, which means changing it for one ship changes it for the others too. Normally you wouldn't need to do it, can change just the Ambient occlusion texture as we did for many ships in the game.

If you really must, make a copy of each texture you need to modify and add a suffix to it - for example

ship_T02blue.dds
ship_N02blue.dds

Then all you need to do is add the following in the roster file:

[Texture 2]
TextureName=*blue.dds

Check Northampton, Brooklyn and the AMC version of Rawalpindi for reference.
