Here's one of the red-lights on the USS Cod.

"What is yor favorite color? Red, no, no Blue...Whaaaa"


Oh, btw. Torpedoes were never painted during ww2. Dull metal colors, and some grease to prevent them from rusting.
Yellow paint was only used for prectice warheads.

groetjes,

Ok cool. From all posts herein, looks like the fish are going to be a dark green, almost black, with a little artistic liberty on the warhead. Stock fish colors drive me insane.

I can maybe try to repaint the torpedoes on my laptop, I just need someone to send me the torpedo texture files.

I believe red was the best color for the eyes to adjust to during night attacks.

Way Back when, Redwine made a mod that you could have either the torpedo body or the torpedo warhead painted a different color for each of the different torpedo types. The colors were:
Blue for MK10,
Green for MK18,
Yellow for MK14,
Orange for MK23,
Red for MK16,
and Military Green for MK27.
