Hi,

I'm looking for a mod pack that changes all playable u-boats's skins to a more darker and weathered ones.

Any sugestions?

Thanks,
Pirate

Ivanov.ruslan skin pack suggestion is a good collection and I think a few meet your requirements. I try and keep SH3 as realistic as possible...as far as skins for the boats go I used the following article to help me select skins:

Plus it is an interesting read...

you are welcome. It can be a bit dry, but I learned quite a bit from it. I assume that some of the folks that have made SH3 boat skins have likely read this article as well.

Well, thank you for your posts, I checked those skins and they are indeed top notch!
But unfortunately they are too bright and shiny. Some are even snowed, which makes them even brighter.
Some have dark stripes for camo and only one is fully dark but that one also changes the 3d model of the u-boat.

Kelly621, I took a look that document, and I find it interesting, but I'm not interest in historic realism.

To give you a better idea of what I mean by darkened and weathered skin, here's a pic. from the screenshot thread that shows exactly what I'm looking for:

Once again I thank you for your replies,

I think its IXD 2 Dunkelgrau skin by Fubar
It's OK to get up and for IXb and IXc

After examining a search engine such skins are made Danlisa and Yamato9


Since the photo was published by Jim, maybe he would say
