Das Boot Officer Icons

[K-61]

I used to use the Das Boot Officers mod, which gave me the faces of the men from Das Boot in the game, both on the faces and the station icons. I briefly tried to use this mod with GWX2; the results were not what I wished for: the station icons were overwritten, but not the crew faces. I used to configure my crew so that the faces from Das Boot matched the roles they played in the game. This made my crew management tasks visually easier. My machinist looked like Johann, my watch officer like the second officer, weapons like the bosun and so forth. I have removed the mod, for now, but I am hoping somebody may be able to rejig this to work with GWX2, so that you get the faces to appear but not overwrite the excellent station icons that come with GWX2. Here's a photo that shows how I used to do it:



Note: Yes, my sailors have qualifications. I used SH3 Commander to accomplish that. I know the qualifications do nothing for sailors, but it is an excellent way of visually sorting your crew according to how you wish to use them. I have a full set of "spares" for each duty, so that I can easily swap them one for one with their opposite. Hot bunking, just like in Das Boot!
