i got to wondering about historic torpedo appearance and found many images of the various USN types, but none from the WWII time period showed the sort of coloration that is currently used in the game's torpedo information display (or did someone mod the torps to those colors? 'can't remember what stock looked like... also, i'd except from this the Mk. 16). so i decided to redo the US_torpedoes512 bitmap to more accruately [?] reflect what seems to have been the actual 'coloration' of the torpedos in use for this era. i left the Mk. 16 alone in the original bmp i have on my hd (whether it's someone else's mod work or stock), but adjusted all the others. there was certainly some conjecture in the scheme i've opted for, so if anyone has better information then i'm all ears!
additionaly, this is the dds from 1.4, so if you're running 1.5 (which i'm not yet) then you'll have to cut&paste these into the expanded 1.5 file.

as always, make sure to backup your original.
