(REL) Arctic Camouflage Type VIIC
 
Below is an Arctic camouflage for the Type VIIC. It is designed for GWX 1.03. I have not seen any photos of a U-boat that used this paint scheme. However, the Royal Navy used it for some of their submarines, and I've adapted it as best I can.

Thanks to Lutzow for sharing the British paint scheme, and Steed and Fubar for their help in figuring out how SH3 applies the TGA file for the conning tower skin.

This is JSGME-ready.

Thanks.

What I'd love to figure out is how to skin a different conning tower for each of the types of tower upgrades you can get. As you add various platforms on the wintergarten and extend the length of the conning tower, different parts of the same file are used and what might look good on an early VIIC with a single platform looks ugly on a late-model VIIC with multiple platforms. This wasn't quite what I wanted, but it was the best compromise I could find. If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know!

Good looking!!!
 
I will give it a try as soon as my career moves to the arctic battlefield. I want to see how this scheme will blend in with icebergs or norwegian fjords in snow :D

Give it a new ID and thus a new TGA to use for it's skin. Currently all the Turms reference the same TGA (in each class - i.e. 7c,9c,2a,2d, etc.).

Will do. I swap between campaigns in a VIIC and XIC myself.
