Hello everybody,
after a loooong hiatus I am returning to the Subsim community. I have a lot of catching up to do but I thought that I would try to release a small mod for SH5. If I recall correctly somebody have already done Das Boot faces for the SH5 interface but I thought that I would give it a shot too...

I am not a big fan of the cartoon-ish stock faces .

I have spent countless hours watching and re-watching Das Boot (very tough sacrifice on my part... LOL) to snap the best possible screen caps of crew faces.

I have spent a lot of time in Photoshop, clearing up the images and ballancing colors/contrast/saturation so the icons look somewhat "uniform"....

The mod is designed to work with all UI mods (including TheDarkWraith's UI). Just install afterwards and overwrite files. JSGME ready.

Note: Sticklers to the movies facts
(1) in Das Boot the radioman/sonar operator is the same guy: Heinrich (I choose Schwalle as radioman so I would not have to repeat same face twice)
(2) there is really not a "designated" "Torpedo Guy" (the SH5 description still rags on me) so I choose Ario because I like the character and he is seen in the scene reloading torpedoes (even though he is, I think, part of the diesel crew)
(3) There is no "gunner" position in u-boat crew (I believe that the position was covered by either 1WO or 2WO) so I choose Ullmann (mostly because, again, I like his character and also he was one of the petty officers in the movie)

As always, any comments/criticism is welcomed.
Enjoy!
