I cannot promise, I've already played a bit with it.
Using black textures make the boat really shiney.. not matt black.

Have you tried making the light maps darker?...never looked at it but in theory could work...thinking loud here.

I was also thinking about that when I was writing my last post.
I will try that.. But probably tuesday soonest.
I have a very busy weekend coming up with a lot of oldtimer (cars) meetings.

WOW! nice ride man...yea the weather is screwed in Germany as well, 25C here...not normal I tell you.

Great work

I never like rusty skins (sh3/sh4) i think that in one month at port they can paint the sub easily.

and its a game, my crew spent several hours painting the sub :rotfl: .

Those aren't screenshots, those are photographs. You're not fooling me!

Beautiful!!

Last night I started a new career and got the Gato class USS Whale
I was just checking out some pictures and saw that her portholes are quit different from USS Gato.

I will make a few adjustments to make her look like USS Whale and USS Silversides
I did not know that within types there were so much differences.
This job is pretty easy because I can use 95% of the Hi-res Balao skin which is very similar to this Gato type.

There are so many differences in the sub's appearances even among same types. Constant upgrades and modifications basically caused no two to be the same.

Regarding the different limber hole configurations, that depended on where they were built. The ones coming out of Electric Boat or Portsmouth were very different from the ones coming out of Manitowoc or Mare Island.

Thanks for the info

I knew that there were some differences.
Just not that they could be so big.
I think I can release the USS Whale / Silversides this weekend.
And then go back to the Salmon skin, people are getting a bit nervous over there :rotfl: :rotfl:
