[REL] S-Class Dazzle skin

[runningdeer]

K-CLASS ZEBRA camouflage skin for all S-class boats in SH4.

I saw a request for a camouflaged sugar boat. I thought it might be a fun project, and a way to contribute to subsim and you all. So I did some research and came up with this skin. My googling only turned up one photo of a K-class boat done in a ZEBRA paint scheme. I based my skin on this one photo and other information that I gathered on camouflaging early war boats. Not much was available on submarine's that were done in camo. It was used primarily for ships.

I wanted to be as historically accurate as I could. I hope that I accomplished that with this skin.

First is the photo I found online. Showing the "K-2" or (SS-33)...pre-war. 1916. Looks like a prison boat, lol. But it is an actual boat and was what I had to go on.

Late war

Of course this skin doesn't effect the games AI. But its kinda cool. From what I gathered of dazzle camouflage, it did not improve a submarines attack, and probably wasn't as useful as it was on a ship. I think i would have wanted one that was the same color as the pacific ocean, but what do I know? .

I hope some of you enjoy the mod. This is my first mod and upload. I am new to skinning. Having learned from tutorials found here at subsim and from all the replies to my thread(s). Thanks all. Especially ichso & tei for taking extra time to explain things to me.
