Two new Coastal Merchant skins
 

I was fiddling with Merchant Variety pack by iambecomelife since I didn˙t like some of his solutions about windows on C2 (no offence intended - you did a great job there) After sorting them back I decided to make my own skin in order to make ships more weathered.
I have chosen Coastal Merchants because they look realy nice (I don`t like other ships besides Armed Merchants since they are too modern looking for my taste).
Here is the result

@terrapin, I wonder how many posts you have that are just "available also at http://Uboat.RealSimulation.com"

:D

:D

This skins are very nice indeed. I have to agree that most merchants look just too new to me. It`s quite alright for the late war actually, but at the beginning the seas were full of rather little, oldy weathered steamers...
...just like these :D

I know. The devs really seem to have overestimated how common the standardized, modern classes of merchant were. Most companies owned a handful of old steamships from several different classes, often from between WWI and the 1920's. I'd really like it if anyone could tell me how to stick that old-fashioned looking funnel from the coastal merchant onto a tanker or a larger cargo ship :-? .

I would like to see more ships of the Auxillary Cruiser style! Somehow, they always looked cool to me.

Going to the mod list. :up:
