its like an overlapping shader or effect thing,thats as technical as i can get lol.

basically unlike tga files where what you see is what you get, the dds with alpha layers can look way different than the image you actually see because both image and alpha layer are blended together somehow to get what you see in the game.

as an example i made a simple color change to the periscope lines and when i tried it in the game the whole periscope view image was solid black and everything around it was transparent lol. alpha layers is something you need to understand if your going to be modding dds files that use them. sorry i cant really explain them.
