I doubt there will be one for another type of VII that's why I'm suggesting it might actually work. Have a look in this thread http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=88849 and see what types of skins exist. If you need any one in particular let me know and I'll upload it for you. I have quite a few skins for VII type boats on my installation so tell me which one you like (or even style, colour etc) and I'll send it to you. Just make sure you enable them via JSGME

I just checked the mods I have installed and I have "FurbarsVIIC41 U997", so it should fit the VIIC/42, right?

Without being 100% sure I think it should work with VIIC/42. As I said before use JSGME to enable it, so if it doesn't work you can disable it without messing up your installation. Rob I'm really sorry I cannot be of any more help, but unfortunatelly I do rely on the help and readme files of the skins as well. I hope it works fine for you mate. Good Luck

Well, I'm going to change to the VIIC/42.

All you people that responded have been a great help, for me to make a difficult decision.

All the best to you all.

Rob

If it ever went into service the 7c/42 would have been the pinnacale of dive-boats.
Has the undewater manuverablly of a type 7, coupled with the surface endurance and top speed of a type 9; it would have been the best of both worlds.

Well, I got my VIIC/42 and as soon as the game started I was informed that my base was changed to Bergon. Does that mean when I return home after the mission I should go to Bergon instead of St. Nazaire?

Also, as soon as the game started and I had not moved the sub, I was told the Sonar was destroyed. How could this happen?

Oh, St. Nazaire does have sub pens in my game. Would that have anything to do with it?

The camo worked fine, it was there.

What year are you playing? There is a possibility that the base did change and once you finish the patrol you will have to relocate into the new base.

That's a stock bug. Your sonar is fine and fully operational.

Glad to hear that mate. Now go out there and sink some ships

As soon as I changed to the VIIC/42, I made the following upgrades: engine to a MAN Buchigebbase; batteries to AFM 33 MAL 800; sonar to SU-Apparat Hibelung; radar to FuMO-64 and radar warning system FuMB-26.

That reduced my renown quite a bit,

Rob.
