For the type II - yes. For some reason the game will just recognise the DAT. I think the XXI is the same way. I don't remember ever trying it, though.

Cool!
I see you're using the exe file of Sean's skins. I kind of like the stand alone skins better than the type II skins in the exe.
If you are using sergbuto's AI U-boats, it is pretty much the same thing to use custom skins for those. Now that you know how to repack the stuff, all you need to do is find the type IIB DAT. Then, extract any skin from a IIA (IIB model uses IIA skins) DAT. Change the TGA file name from Typ 2A_Hull to Typ 2B_Hull. Repack into the IIB DAT. Place the IIB DAT into the right folder in the game directory. Voila!
The type II was the easy one. I think the type VII is a pain in the butt.
