Nice job, Jeff :up:

EXCELLENT PLAN!!! Its MASTERFUL herr Kaleun! They will be mezmerized into submission!!!! :ping:

In doing research for the turm emblems I've come a cross a couple of things which I've not known before. e.g. the Laughing Sawfish emblem carried by 9th FLotilla boats appears to have actually been blue and not black, green or red.

Excerpt from Georg Hogel's "U-Boat Emblems of World War II:
And according to the book U-88 had the tower painted light blue!

I've just finished uploading the first installment of VIIC/1 turm files. The pack includes 55 .TGA files which cover 35 boats. Enjoy.

Nice one TJ http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

Very nice work, TJ.
:salute:

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

If what I think is correct?
We may have a new patch for GWX versions that use those Turms.
:03:

Thanks TarJak, saved me a job!!:yeah:

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. :D

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

Is the file server down?

MLF

Same here,:doh:

It looks like a temporary server error.....grab it from here:

Thanks Jim:yeah:

Thanks Jim.

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

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

Thank you.

MMLF

No problem guys.....but the thanks are due to Privateer and TJ.

Here is the 7b link:

Good on ya Jim, lucky your not here or I'd kiss ya!!:yeah:

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.

Tarjak

:hmmm: 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

MLF

PS What does DP mean?

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.

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.
