KMS Bismarck and KMS Prinz Eugen '41 Skins [DOWNLOAD]56kwrn

Type941 · 07-11-05, 05:41 PM

DOWNLOAD through Rapidshare here

Another mirror is at U-Boat simulations = KMM_BismarckHipper.rar is the file name to search for.

2 ships that took part in Battle of Denmark Strait are now skinned properly. You get Bismarck in its final camouflage (i.e. correct color of deck, all wood, and swastika covered in dark gray canvas, only the 'fake' wave is kept on hull) and Prinz Eugen Hipper class has also lost its stripes (albeit not fully, they still show trhough just a little). Plus the portholes are resized on both ships. They look much better now I think.

Enjoy. Below are preview shots.

And the money shots:

Looks like I'm one of the first for a change!

Danke

Thanks Terrapin.

Looks awesome! I was wondering just today when you were going to release these skins. I look forward to using them.

I'm really loving your other home fleet skins. Those BBs look really nice without that camo.

Now, to just get rid of that Illustrious camo... :P :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Very nice I will have to get that even if I have never seen Bismarck. But will like having that skin for the Hipper in port from RUB's SCR.

According to what I have read all the turret tops were painted yellow both the 380MM and 150MM for Rhineland. This was done in Norway and supposedly the stripes could barely be seen through the new paint.

I can send scanned copies of the color drawings. I also have a few colored drawings of U-boat skins; 4 Type VII and 3 Type IX. No Prinz Eugen but three of Hipper. PM an email add for anyone that wants me to scan these.

Until then I must have these, the screens are very nice as well

Hipper I've submitted is accurate for Prinz Eugen - i.e. the stripes show through, and roof tops are unlikely to have been red or yellow during the military operation - those were just for training in the baltic - Bismarck also have had black muzzles and dark color roof tops on turrets.

But in short - yuo can't make changes to SH3 turrets and such - they are all using 1 generic paint scheme - so modifying it will cause all ships to look like that = and a destroyer with red turret tops is not something I would recommend. You can safely play with this Hipper, it's as accurate as SH3 allows imho.

These skins are perfect! Just what I've been looking for. Many thanks for these..

Excellent!

I usually don't see any battleships, either. I don't know if I should say this, but I go into the Museum and admire the BBs. Ok, I'm a sucker for battleships.

I promise that once my movie filming activities are done, I'll release my Battle of Denmark Strait mission where you can take part in sinking a KGV that's engaging Prinz Eugen and Bismarck. You'll have to watch out also for an airplane and 2 cruisers. Potentially, a good hunt.

Hello,
thank you for this mod !
However now i'm really confused - i always thought the Bismarck would have had removed her camouflage painting when she made for her last cruise, like it's in your mod. Some weeks ago someone (Beery?) stated the Bismarck still had her camouflage paint when she went down - which i was forced to believe - showed a photograph here with the zigzag war paint during her last cruise. Hmm :hmm:
Greetings,
Catfish

I believe these will be as close as is possible to what Bismarck looked like on the last cruise given the one color cover everything so is the best solution.
He had red turret tops in the Baltic, but it does seem they were yellow for Rhineland as was Scharnhorst and Gneisenau for Berlin and Hipper for Weserubung. Although, I have never heard a good reason as to why.
Hipper's December 1940 Atlantic scheme is my favorite.
The Twins had a nice powder blue for turrets tops in Cerberus. Sounds like a Girly man was in charge of the painting in Brest, LOL
Because the nearly fresh paint put on in Norway to cover the camo and swassis have come off after all the years on the bottum, some wrongly assume they were that way for Rhinubung. They are mistaken

The highest ranking survivor from Bismarck and author of Battleship Bismarck A Survivor's Story; Baron Burkard von Mullenheim-Rechberg states on page 83. "With the thought that, in the hazy visibility of these northern waters, our black-and-white stripes might stand out and betray us, both we and Prinz Eugen painted over our camoflage with the standard "outboard gray" of German Warships."

Anyone here that served on the Bismarck is free to dispute that.

Anyone else will appear a fool!
