Hello gap,

the share of Bofors and other type of AA weapons may had been rather variable. One major factor was the time (few or no Bofors guns in early war), another the place of refits (British ships rarely received Bofors guns if not refitted in US yards; the US were the primary producers of Bofors guns). I would also guess, those British transports carrying US troops were first to receive Bofors guns ...

Early outfits probably comprised HA versions of 3 inch (either 12 pdr/12 cwt or 20 cwt; the first one was mainly used no smaller vessels so probably not many on troop transports) and 4 inch (Mk. V) guns plus some/few of the older tpye (Mk. II) pompoms. I have no idea if .5 inch Mk. III machine guns were used on transports; same holds for the newer Mk. VIII pompoms. The 20 mm Oerlikons, as the 40 mm Bofors, became increasingly prominent after the US entered the war.

Summary ... much room for speculation and creativity

Hi everyone!

Some updates related with troop transport re-assembling:

Now, a question:

How where rafts stacked on decks? Where them "free", or vincolated with ropes, supports or what?

Best regards,
Vd

edit, maybe i found something:

Well done mate

...but imho the deck doesn't look right yet. The texture you are using looks more like corrugated metal rather than painted wood planks

And it would be cool also to paint the lifeboats !

Think that your ship must be as low visible as possible for the Germans. To have an idea about the colors :

@vonDos,

either use a more detailed (resolved) deck texture and add another material. Or when UV mapping, cut the deck into smaller chunks before placing on the deck texture.

I think, kendras called for repainting the lifeBOATS to GREY and not of the lifeRAFTS for BROWN ...

Indeed.

Some people are not as good at UV mapping and texture work as others.
I don't have the files Your working with Von Dos so can only offer limited help.

On the deck? I'd grey scale the wooden deck then add layers to arrive to a good image.

On the rafts and boats? I suspect they are using the same texture and you need to re-UV or change that aspect.
