Looks very, very nice !!! :up:

But another suggestion: What about a skin from U-96 with laughing sawfish ? I saw pictures with the sawfish on first page on this Thread ! Can you release a version please ?

Many thanks and best regards,
Magic:salute:

Hello Magic1111.

:yep:No problem, I can do.

As for color, was green or red?:06:

Exploring the net, I came across this interesting picture of the U-96, in bull blowing the 7th Flotilla:

:salute:

Is this a Type-VIIB?

Greetings TheBeast

:yep:Apparently it's the type B.

I'll keep investigating ...

:damn:The color of sawfish from U-96.

:yep:This is a good topic for discussion, there is much controversy about the color of this symbol.

This is a good site in Spanish, which summarizes in a way which were the colors used, but equally there are many accurate or inaccurate information:

:DLI hope you help me on this subject, to perform in a way, as accurate as possible the color of this fish ...

Hi !

U-96 was an Type VIIC Sub (http://www.uboat.net/boats/u96.htm) and have an black sawfish ! The green sawfish was the emblem from the 9th U-Boat-Flotilla in Brest (http://www.uboat.net/special/emblems/u96.html).

The follow subs have an sawfish (in different colors) as emblem too:

U91, U 92, U96, U 211, U 214, U 217, U 218, U 230, U 409, U 591, U 595, U 604, U 659, U 664, U 744, U 755, U 764 und U 954.

Hey Nozaurio,
Great detail on the skins :salute: but is there a possibility of combinding your detail skins with Danevangs coloured skins :yeah:

@Magic

you gave a reference;

U-96 was an Type VIIC Sub (http://www.uboat.net/boats/u96.htm) and have an black sawfish ! The green sawfish was the emblem from the 9th U-Boat-Flotilla in Brest (http://www.uboat.net/special/emblems/u96.html).

Your reference listed dosen't say anything about U96 having a black sawfish ;) theres that conjection, lol :yep: But if I were a punter and based on the darkness of the emblem against the sails grey colour and the B/W photo, IMO I'd agree that it was Black or a very dark grey, but this is not a reference, and its only my opinion

Yes, but in my opinion we don´t have better references, because I think it don´t exist color photos from real U-96 sub. We see it on historical black-white photos and we have as reference the movie "Das Boot". In the movie "Das Boot" the sawfish is black (the movie based on real-patrols from U-96). The Roman-Author Lothar-Günther Buchheim was in WW2 in the rank on a "Leutnant" War-journalist and drive 2 or 3 partrols with U-96 under Commander "Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock" (here a picture from him on U-96, with beard: http://www.google.de/imgres?imgurl=h...%3Disch&itbs=1

After long search I found a very big reference in the web:

I think this is the "ultimate-reference"....! ;)

This is an addition made by TheBeast for NOZAURIO'S SKIN (U-552-Red Devil).

This mod shows the skin of Red Devil U-552 in the list update mechanism, while in the Bunker.

Magic1111,

Great reference!, loved the reading but once again Part IV says it all ( I won't quote as readers can view for themself and make their own minds up )- there is still conjection till this day about the colour, anyway I think this topic is off track and we are stealing Nozaurio thread. Again great find on your last reference

:up:Magic 1111 and Faz Thanks for the info.

:-?From what I read, these emblems of sawfish were disabled in 1941, only used the snorting bull of the 7th Flotilla.

Nozaurio, any answer to this?

You´re welcome mate !

Do you release a skin with an laughing sawfish in near future ? :hmmm:
When yes, what do you think about the suggestion, the skin in two
different versions to release, one with a black sawfish and the other one with an dark-green sawfish ? Because different historical sources spoke from an dark-green sawfish on U-96, other from black sawfish. So with two skins the user have the choice between black and dark-green sawfish. What do you mean ?

Best regards,
Magic

:oops:Faz apologize if I did not answer before...

:-?I need to raise a lot of information on these camouflage.

I have some information in my database, but do not possess sufficient information to make these skins.

I will contact Danevang, to authorize me to use their skins as database and so I can make different camouflage used in the U-boat VIIC.

Greetings ...:salute:

:03:Thanks Magic1111.

:yep:I really thought about it, throw if possible, three fish close, green, black and red, so that way the user uses that you see fit.

Before this weekend and if I have free time, launched the beta version, for consideration by the Beta Tester.

Best regards...:salute:

Hey.. No problem :up: Unless someone has better coloured skins than Danevangs skins - which you will find are about as accurate as it can be, given the generated colours by computers and then having to match them with the RAL colours offered by the 'White Ensign Models' firm;
