Sorry mate. Your post made me laugh. Thank you.

If you read the other posts here... and namely JScones'... the boats were painted rather often for the better part of the war.

From what I can tell about navies the world over... They have a thing about painting...

"If it doesn't move... Paint it!!! If it moves... Paint it!!!"

No self-respecting naval officer would stand for it. (I so wanted to say... "would allow lint to remain in his belly button.")

Rust if allowed to spread, attacks the structural integrity of the boat... bit by bit.

Rust is an enemy of the boat unto itself... and the boat protects you from the vastness of the ocean.

Rust must die.

Now other weathering is present on those U-boat skins incl in GWX.

Now all that being said, occasional heavy-ish rust and/or weathering sometimes happened... and so those skins are "realistic" too... but I find that this is generally the exception as opposed to the rule.

All of Fubar's skins are cool. We went with the standard greys in GWX for the sake of consistency and overall/majority historical accuracy.
