I think you got pretty close with that font, though it is obviously not identical with the one used by the Kriegsmarine. On the other hand, the historical picture you have posted below is so sharp and clean that with little work we could rip the numbers directly from it. Not big enough for a 512 x 512 emblem, but in game a 256 x 256 picture should look just as well. I only wish we had more pictures like that for all the digits...

Yes that, or maybe one day we will have a Spanish Civil War campaign where U-numbers and bronze eagles on the conning towers would be historically correct

If you tell me on which U-boat(s) it was used maybe I can help you: I have many unreleased U-boat emblems on my HD, custom-made and edited from pictures and drawings available on the web
