I have many photos of crewmen clothes (overalls) in brownish colours, and this seems the "official" crew uniform.

In this form they appear in diverse books about U boats crewmen.

In GWX and LSH3 I use the casual-style "Das Boot" clothes by Evan.

Hi mate,

One thing i know for sure is that coastal boat crews was more formal since they were often near BDU and many pics show them with standard uniform often with the leather pants and short coat.

Best regards Hans

I think these are right crew uniforms for Type II:



A more standard, SH3 style uniform...The man at right, I think is good for Type II:



...also standards uniforms:




Parade uniforms:




...and Caribbean and Operation Monsun uniforms (I hate those shirts with nazi eagles...):



For the - for me - ideal formal uniform for Type II, it´s needed a new hat, as in the first image for the u boat crewman (number 3 in the image).

Photos of crewmen aboard Type II:

Happy crewmen in white clothes:



In this photo there are crewmen with the hat of image 1 - crewman 3:




Best regards.

Hi mate,

Nice work i saw those in one of my book and yes i will model the new uniform hat and collar.

Will also made the grey leather pant and short coat as another sub mod that folks can activated in jgsme on their own choice.

But all this will be done later on for the moment i go with my top priority that are :

1 :Finishing the video series for Brett and reaper.

2: Finishing the Fletcher (probably tonight)

3: Finishing the interior

After that i will proceed on the VIIC and VIIC/41.

Right now thing seem on the slow pace but it is only because i am setting up our design workflow pipeline and structuring the team assets etc.

After i'm done with that thing will go a lot faster

Best regards Hans

one comment regarding the most excellent website-its a little hard to read that Gothic font, I mean its looks awesome, but is not as user friendly, (especially if we need to read technical info).

Any recommendation's on a font.
What do people think keep something gothic looking or go for a plain font type

[brett25]

reaper, IMHO, its mainly because this is an information website and you know the rule of thumb, visitors tend to click away if they have any difficulties navigating or reading the text, etc. My vote would be for clean text, or possibly a Gothic font which has less flourish.

[Hans Witteman]

Team work at is best

Positive critics are essentials if we want to get to the next level

Best regards Hans

Thanks Guys, I've changed the background from white to a blueish tint. Darkened the Font to stand out more. I'll look for a cleaner font to get the best of both worlds.
Overall changes should look better

PS: I've noticed here that while using Chrome that the Gothic font shows ok, but in Internet Explorer the default font shows
Anyone else notice this ??

Oh....yes....i can tell that this mod will be very good .... especially at 3d designs ....Hans....simply has no opponent ! this guy is something like Oleg for IL2

after all ...he is a professional (something that some guys tents to...'forget')

for the gui parts ....everything 'runs' normal .... research has almost ended and building has allready started and will be completed soon(it is about 50% completed) . everything till now is design exactly as the real elements of u2a's parts.....i can tell you that Hans is a 'strong' 'boss' and a real 'headache' ....sometimes !!

edit : Reaper ...check your mail
