[REL] Turm Emblems Your Way!

Very nice work, TJ.


And I've found a few things on those AI Turms I need to look closer at.


If what I think is correct?
We may have a new patch for GWX versions that use those Turms.

Thanks TarJak, saved me a job!!

My pleasure. Working on part 2 of the VIIC's. There were 586 of the buggers so it will take a while to do them all.

I am trying to download from subsim, but get "ERROR: File not found." When I try againI am told to slow down

Is the file server down?

And thank you Tarjak. I have been searching the Internet for a red sea turtle for U203 - and you had already done it!

At the moment it only appears on one side of the tower but easily rectified.

Thank you.

NP MLF. The info I had was that the turtle was on the starboard side only. No photo's available so I went on what was in the book. If anyone has any info on actual positioning or photo's with good shots of the emblems I'd be grateful as it will help get these as accurate as I can.

You are most likely right there. The only photo I've seen where the turtle was apparent was of the stbd side. The Revell model supplied 2 decals, one for each side so I assumed that was the case. I will look through the books I have when I get home (In France for 2 weeks at the moment).

Thanks

PS What does DP mean?

[TarJak]

U-203 is one of the boats where the book I mentioned above goes into a bit of detail about positioning etc. Unfortunately most of the other entries are pretty skimpy with some merely mentioning commissioning and sinking or scuttling dates and showing a black and white hand drawn image of the emblem.

Excerpt from Georg Hogel's U-Boat Emblems of WWII:

Conning tower device. The coat of arms of Essen, patron city of U-203 was painted on the front of the conning tower. Below it, Kottman's device, the Olympic Rings, was painted... On the starboard side of the conning tower was a turtle.

Since Privateer found a way of applying emblems more historically correct I have had the urge to create some emblems of my own. I have just started to learn GIMP and these are my first attempts. They are not as good as i had hoped for but they look quite good in-game. These are historically correct emblems for these boats but the colours and placement may not be correct as I only had the black and white images from U-Boataces.com to go from. In fact these emblems have been created from those images. If anyone would like them i will do a few more before uploading a small pack. I will give credit to any images i have used to the persons concerned.
