GWX Skin Pack

Re sub skins, let's just think laterally for a second.

Wouldn't it be good to get Med-based camo U-boat skins and even crew outfits when in 23/29th Flotilla?

How about clothing and camo fit for the Arctic (including ice) when in 11th Flotilla?

Feeling tropical? Wouldn't nice summery outfits look a treat when in the Indian (10th) or Sth Atlantic (10th or 12th)?

There's no need to just think date-based changes - SH3Cmdr can support a wide variety of concepts.

But if one was to think date-based, one option would be to follow Allgemeinen Baubestimmungen (Building Regulations Order) Nr. 31 (November 1941 and July 1944). Doing so could see a shift from Dunkelgrau 51 to Hellgrau 50 early in the war through to camo skins and back to Dunkelgrau 51 later in the war (generally speaking of course, as there were countless variations and combinations).

Wow.... This man has great ideas.

Yes, this is what I was thinking as well. The general changes with time would not be difficult at all, it is the difference between flotillas that would take more work but also be more interesting. It sounds like there is some interest in this, now to see if Fubar is interested in making some more skins. :hmm:

JScones · 03-09-07, 09:49 AM

And outfits? :hmm:

mr chris · 03-09-07, 10:46 AM

Oh Yes my crew would like the Steve Irwin kaki look thanks very much.

I think it's going to be hard to make all skins looking different.... But Fubar is great, and will be able to do it probably. :hmm:

Here are a few more screenshots from the GWX Skin Pack.

The first one shows a Town Class DD painted in a 1940 dazzle scheme based on a photograph of HMS Hamilton. This was one of the earliest camo schemes used in WWII and is very similiar to the dazzle schemes used during WWI.

The next one shows another Town Class DD painted in a 1942 disruptive scheme based on a photograph of HMS Broadway.

The last one shows the HMS Duke of York in the disruptive scheme she wore during 1942.

I don't use GWX, so won't be able to benefit, but I just wanted to say what beautiful paint schemes you've created! The screenies look stunning!

Great job.

Thanks! Even if you don't use GWX you can still copy the skins you like into your ship folders. You won't get the changes through time but you will at least get some new skins. However, most of the capital ships are not multiskinned so you would need to extract the texture from the dat file.

Actually, if the non-GWX user has the multi-skin ship pack by UBOAT234, then pretty much all warships will be multi-skin capable with a few exceptions (Elco and Vorpostenboot do not work correctly, and Fletcher class DD, Vosper, and RAF Launch not done).
