Hi Yuya6104,

That skin has been done in the past by Konrad Krumm. I have it as Konrad_Krumm_VIIc_U201.

Try a search and if you still can't find it let me know and I'll try to upload it for you.

I tried the search myself out of curiosity
Here is a link to the page.

I haven't seen any in Hi-res or with the red hull. BTW everything I've read indicates that the red hull only exited pre-war.

[Yuya6104]

oh i see you mean hehe...but when looked there a few them in durning war but was only used by few VIIB Type U-boats durning 1939 to 1942 was in red color sceam..but color changed in later war when Type VIIB changed color grey...


Do know anyone who can make the red hull only for VIIb or is there anyone can ask who does skin for uboats?

here some of the Red Hull German Uboats that used in Type VIIB

yep, a cammo-red hull would be cool.:yep:

Agreed. May not be realistic late in the war, but sometimes when it comes to skins something looks so damn good you have to mess with it.

Example, I did a couple of IL-2 Skins that were very non-historic but well recieved. An Me-262 in modern RCAF livery, and a P-80 in 70's RCAF.. looked sweet!

Did they even ever paint the hulls of Uboats red?

From everything I have read and seen in books this is a misconception and was never actual done.

Though it is pretty cool looking.

[Yuya6104]

it was down i have many books of world history about world war 2 yes very few painted hulls red that was in early part war till changed to grey.. only so few had like 3 VIIb kind u-boats had it this in early war afther that was changed....


who know how paint these to full histocal scems an please what i want on my VIIb cause im in the early war in VIIb 1939 cause started new career

[Yuya6104]

why do no one want do this skin for me?T_T

[Sailor Steve]

Because people usually mod the things THEY want. Somebody might do one for a friend, but maybe you should learn how to do it yourself. Modding isn't easy, you know.

Yes,
from what I remember the red was not actually a paint, but something to prevent the rust.
All the hull was "paint" with this rust-protective film, then only the upper parts (i.e. everything that will normally stay above the water) were painted in dark grey or camo.
No need to put the sub in a drydock to paint something (lower hull) that will never been seen from above the water.
I guess that later in the war, the dark paint in the lower sub hull could be for rust prevention too...but not sure.

Life is about compromise. I uploaded the best the community has to give when it comes to your skin request. I'm certain BdU didn't honor every request it received. Go sink some shipping!

[Deep Six]
