Sergei - the grey variants all look perfect. As for the green, I vote for either the second or third version.

I really appreciate you taking this on - this is going to be a great fix.

All the rust, etc is in the o-map as well, right? I might be inclined to have a less rusty version of many as well. IN the South Pacific, they got rusty fast, largely from lack of supplies, though paint was apparently short period.

That's right.
Take another look at my grey hull, pics 1 and 2.
That is actually the same skin.
The difference is for version 2 I knocked back the O map by about 30%

Could do that with all of them, its real easy, and just requires a little additional roster edit.

Could work out quite well for us. Give us 2 or 3 variations without changing the base colour too much.

OT :

Just noticed the reflections on the water (ships).
Is that W_Clears Environment mod ? You´re using TMO as Supermod, right ?

sergei · 03-23-10, 01:56 PM

Just straight TMO 1.9.
So the environment is whatever env mod Ducimus used for TMO.

Fish40 · 03-23-10, 07:42 PM

This is gonna be good!

sergei · 03-24-10, 08:26 AM

Note to self.
Alter the roster files so these skins don't show up on friendly ships.

cgjimeneza · 03-24-10, 08:43 PM

thanks mate, good looking targets

McHibbins · 03-25-10, 05:33 AM

Ok, met them ingame and they´re looking even better than on the screens.
Love the markings on the funnels

Are you going to enlarge your Mod or even make one for UBM+OM ?

sergei · 03-25-10, 06:50 AM

The next step is what myself and Tater are working on.
The mixture of civilian and grey skins at the start of the war. The civ skins being slowly phased out to be replaced by grey. Then later in the war the green paintschemes start showing up.

A version for UBM+OM?
Dunno at the moment.
This project is already snowballing into a lot of work.
Plus there are so many new ships in OM with their own really good skins that you won't really need this I think.

These new colors and skins look wonderful. BTW, this work is not wasted. Someone made a dazzle skin for a vessel, the God honest truth, the damn vessel blended in with the cloudy background of the sky. It was part of a convoy and just about plowed me down. Looking forward to these skins!

sergei · 03-25-10, 09:31 AM

Oh man, I wish I knew how they had done that.
Neither Tater nor myself have had any success trying to make one.

AVGWarhawk · 03-25-10, 07:18 PM

Whatever the case I just downloaded TMO version

virtualpender · 04-03-10, 01:12 PM

Sergei - not to pester you but just wanted to see how it was coming. I'm really looking forward to this updated release.

sergei · 04-03-10, 02:06 PM

Gimme another week or two.
Should have it wrapped up by then
