That seems a pretty easy candidate for Sh3 Commander, then.

Given that "the snow won't settle" (of course), I would suspect we'd want to make a few more changes. Busy work changes, mostly, really:

- Have a duplicate for every skin so far shipped to cover 'winter months' with snow and ice already built up on them
- Different water textures that look...ummm...even greyer?
- As noted, a different routine for 'rain' in these months or regions. More common, perhaps, but slower falling and with larger "drops".

The steps necessary to do this with Sh3Commander should probably be taken into their own thread - it's not complicated work, but a GREAT VOLUME of it. It would add a ton of immersion, though - those Murmansk convoys in the winter would be amazing with a blizzard blowing and the deck of the U-Boat and convoy ships covered in ice...

IIRC _Seth_ did a few ice skins. You could always post a request for the SHIIICommander mod to do it.

I've seen some, but for this to really be amazing, you'd need to go even further.

Not just the subs, but all surface ships, the ground textures, buildings, etc.

Imagine how amazing that would look! Hmm...I've definitely wanted to contribute something to this game (I've participated in the mod community for several others, but most make easier use of 3dSMax), and I'm wicked good with Photoshop. Hmmm....going to do some more research on this topic, I think. Only real issue (and, of course, it's a big one) is that texturing in this game is...bizarre, to say the least.
