[REQ] U-69 "Laughing cow/Flags" skin
 

Hello, is anyone here talented enough to make a hisorically accurate U-69 conning tower? Thats my U boat and i can get a really ugly inverted laughing cow, without even the proper banners on the side. Can anyone help me?

This is one of the most unique and famous U boat liveries. Better hurry, i only have like another year to live! :salute:

I could if somebody could point me to the corresponding files. :DL

Someone did a mod that reskinned the subs by replacing the default texture, maybe this would be a good route. I dont remember what it was called ("Something" Paint shop 1.0)

More pictures, Closeups of the flags and cow:

And in case you cant see it the text on the very front center says "Horridoh"

Yeah, I can't find any decent pictures of that emblem. This page has the best ones so far:

It doesnt have to be super crazy accurate. Black and white photos for placement, models for color (I'm sure some anal modeler read the right colors from a book or something)

I know the cow is brown and the text is all white, and the boat is a dark enough grey to make the text really stand out. Ever since i got assigned U-69 in december 1939 (HA) ive been wanting to have the correct paint job.

Since the flags wrap around the front of the conning tower a simple "Captains emblem" just wont do. Of course the community could always use some good historical skins :)

The A Fistful of Emblems SH5 mod has the cow head emblem available.

The SH3 mod SuperTurms 4 has the whole thing, flags, wraparound cow heads and very crisp quality. You can see it in this video. The main drawback is you can't do that in SH5... yet?

It's in Spanish. Look in Historia, Historial Uboote, fichas e historiales, U-69.
Sorry, no direct link. Pics and colour print of U-69's emblem.

Ooh, great link! Can't read a word of it, but looks great! heh
