What I really, really, really wanted, was a RUSTY WET skin, metal shinning on some spots, a long shiny line across the ballast tanks, due to being wet. The metal on the uboats on SH3 looks way too bloody dry, like they were never out of the shipyard.


Anyway, just my two cents...
Certainly not impossible, but tricky. To make the u-boat look wet, you have to play with light and increase "reflection". There is a problem with that though, the wet look will never change, sunny, rainy, day or night, it would still show the same type of reflection.

Oh, and by the way, Sledgehammer, very nice skins!
Better always wet than always dry metallic!
