Default [WIP] enhanced funnel smoke

Originally I was just going to mod the warships to have lighter funnel smoke, but iambecomelife had mentioned something about having the older coalburner merchants having thicker smoke, soooo . . .

This is what the three types of funnel smoke look like at a distance:



These are close-ups; first is a warship:



Next is a more modern merchant:



Finally the older coal-burners:



These may, or may not, be final versions, based upon your feedback. This is your chance Kaleuns.

I've spent hours digging up photos of WWII merchants and warships, comparing their funnel smokes and trying to create something that --if it doesn't exactly match, at least comes close. One thing I did notice was that it seemed as if when the merchants were actually cruising at speed they gave off little to no smoke . . . which surprised me. I'm hoping our resident historical experts might be able to enlighten me here.

Once I've finalized the smokes, next I'll be incorporating them into the appropriate ships. Which will also be 'fun'. Deciding which are warships is a piece of cake, but I'm not sure what criteria to use to sort merchants into the older, smokier kinds versus more modern, less smoky. Again, I'll appreciate any advice here!
