BTW that reminds me of something I wanted to ask you for and forgot. Can you make the gun deck a bit thicker?

It is currently too thin, according to what I see in the pictures.

lighter deck is better than a dark one when seen from above (plane), this isn't the Atlantic Ocean

I'll try to make it lighter than the hull, but still in MS9 paint scheme. I'll report with a link when I have it ready

about the guns deck : I will see what I can whip out, how much thicker do you think ?

If we keep on like this we'll never be done

Start with at least double as thick as it is now

EDIT: No that will be not enough. Make it about 1/4 to 1/3 of the actual heigth of the platform pillars. It must be really thick!

Hitman :
well as this is still a game, maybe you could post your textures with the dark deck as a mod ?

Sledgehammer427 : stick with RL textures but maybe a light gray early war, then Measure 9 scheme dark gray/black

as for a dedicated campaign/ single missions :

USS Narwhal (SS167) Report of Third War Patrol

the front doors don't fit right and the stern ones... well I still don't know if they had an outer door or not since all early subs seem to have had only hatch covers.

then we need to fix the animation on all of them.

Hitman's skin looked pretty good and I like the dark decks and kinda beat up appearance of the hull. An early version could actually stand to be even more beat up... The old girl was looking pretty rough when the Pacific War started.

thanks Highbury ! I think I posted that picture earlier but as people never read the previous pages..

Sledgehammer427 is doing the textures (improved) and Hitman gave us a good hint about the deck.

so yeah, why not a battered start of war texture ? do you know when they repainted her, if before her refit in 43' ?

That's pretty much like any sub looked like after some weeks at sea. Probably the photo was taken before the refit/repaint between patrols.

Main problem I'm finding so far is that the texture is very low resolution

Any chance that you could retexture the deck to use in multiple smaller parts the same texture, so I can make the wooden planks bigger? As it stands now, giving it the proper look makes it look unnatural when viewed from close f.e. from the deck gun position
