Black battleships?

I took a side-trip to Midway and found an Iowa-class BB there. She was all black except for her turrets

Must have been thin-skinned as well... I put two fish into her and she sank

Had a quick look in the rosters, yup, that date appears to be the cause.

The campaign can pic ships before they enter service if generic is used... but if you have a ship rendered before the date its textures enter the game it will appear black. Most textures are set to 19000101 or 19380101 even if the ship enters the game mid war... they must have missed this one..

Buckley needs changing also, havent checked Japans ships yet..

I was playing Schulz's "Yellow Sea Patrol":

MissionBriefing=Febuary 1943||The USS Wahoo's 4th War Patrol was the greatest patrol in the subs history. She sunk 7 frighters, 1 Tanker, 3 smaller craft and dammaged 1 freighter. Can you stand up to Mortorns legend?
