I think some of the answers you guys are looking for may be found in the first post of this thread : http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...hlight=emblems.

Generally the confusion is that for a lot of the u-boat types, the model uses one skin for the hull and another for the conning tower. Some are event shared between different types or use embedded textures.

Hitman to change the conning tower for the VIIC, you need to edit or replace NSS_Uboat7c_hull.tga. My guess is that fubar's SH3 skin replaces the file that the VIIC in OM uses for the hull but the part that is supposed to be the conning tower is being replaced by NSS_Uboat7c_hull.tga.

I spend many hours of trial and error messing with those texture files to figure out what is used, what is not, etc. But it's been a while since I wrote it and I forgot most of what I learned
