The invisible U-Boot

Thinking of a famous and amazing (period) color picture of a Me-109 flying over the desert, and called "the invisible plane", here's now the "invisible U-Boot" ; or the benefits of an efficient camo matching the surroundings in breaking a silhouette. Under specific conditions of course (the weather in the present case).

There's a threatening submarine in the vicinity (below), try to find it !

Thanks Fubar for this wonderful skin, waiting to see - and get ! - some new ones when your time permits.

Nice, a few meters further back and the boat would totally blend in

Too bad the game doesn't recognize the increased camaflouge to make the sub less visible to other ships.

Dynamic eye simulation?

Perhaps in 50 years time if we are optimistic.

Hope I'll get nice camo paintings for my sub too when I'll have a XXI in my shoes at X-Mas. But 3 more years to wait before they're available... so I didn't look at the skins I have available yet.

Rather a "Destroyer Command" for SH3 : I had nice time playing SH2 with Destroyer Command in LAN multiplayer games, and would like to do the same with SH3 !

Effective camo, yes. But as I was saying, depends on the weather conditions. When weather gets better well, it's a slightly different story...
