John,

Ditch the rank insignias on the enlisted blue unifroms. They didn't use them back then. In general, the saying among submariners was "You leave your rate at the dock". Otherwise, great mod.

Very good work!

[M. Sarsfield]

Another idea.. how about breast eagles on the German shirts? Also, the litzen (collar tabs) on the German officer shirts are too small. They are enlisted litzen.

Sarsfield,

I had an officers only mod for version 1.0 it was done by request and only had 2 downloads. So needless to say I will not be taking the time to do another as clearly no one wanted it out of the hundreds that dowloaded the mod

Enlisted not wearing rank is something that has been discussed many times in this forum, and also a fact that I was aware of when I made the MOD. So I guess you could say it was done this way on purpose. Not to mention if it weren't for enlisted wearing ranks there would essentially be no point to the mod as there are so few officers on the boat.

As far as the Enlisted collar insignia go on the German uniforms I did not create them they were stock with the game, I just added the shoulder and sleeve insignias for rank, and those came from SH3.

I actually have no concept of an accurate looking german uniform. If anyone would like to design them I will gladly add them to the mod or anyone can just take my mod and change what needs to be changed and offer the whole thing as their own mod. Everything I do is always open to anyone at any time to manipulate for their own use, no need to ask permission or even give credit.



Oh and BTW I love the Batfish I try to go at least once a summer since it is such a short drive from okc!! maybe i'll catch ya there this summer

Thanks for the work! I really like the Shoulder boards for the German NCOs and of course, the US ranks look great, as always!

John,

Very nice job on the German uniforms! One suggestion I can make if you want to improve them is to remove the collar and sleeve rank insignia from the two brown shirts.

Sure I love suggestions, but on which two shirts are you refering? I created 12, all with collar insignias and rank insignia's... actually I didn't create anything, all of the shirts used were the stock shirts from 1.5 and they already had the collar insignia. All I added was the rank insignia's (which is kinda the purpose of the mod... so you can visualy see the rank of each crew member while walking around the sub. , though it is not that realistic as I know alot of subbers didn't wear insignias, hell some didn't even wear uniforms.

without the rank insignias you would have the stock uniforms thus no point in having the mod
