It is not that simple...rusty or not rusty.

Sea weathering on metal surface is :
-salt and iodium color damage
-biological (alge) crusts
-rust

...and it is not that simple to re-paint in port, it takes hard work to "cure" the base surface before repainting (last thing that somebody will do in bombed hangars)

Weathered subs died silently in a far away corners of ocean without photographers and any possibility of remaining documents...

I like to vary the skins during patrol (using jsgme) starting with a nice fubar das boot,fubars(king of skins)u552 ending in stock skin from .dat file from original game,resulting in new,mid-rust and battered.

Yeah - because sadly- most of them didnt survive long enough to get rusty!
