Just to update for this mod; because it is in my opinion very promising and I hope that it does not get overshadowed by the awesome mods that are coming out there now (Flakmonkey's other big one included of course
) :
The new ID-fixed Turm 1 update posted earlier solves the issue of the black conning tower, but it seems that it also removes all water reflections for the type7 (both conning tower and hull). The original version works, and the black conning tower is even reflected.
