[REL] Playable Type IIb WAC 5.2

Please Read First!!! ( no readme in the early Betas )
First I credit past Authors of work on the IIa that became the Type IIa in
Ahnenerbe's TKSS18 U-boat compilation Mod.
I made these for GWX 3.0 over 2 1/2 years ago but I never released them.
I now have converted these for WAC 5.2 ( which has the most comprehensive Black Sea Campaign Yet Encountered) and with the approval
of HanSolo78 Release these early release betas for testing.

What These U-Boats are:
I stretched them to Type IIb Dimensions and changed/added details to
their appropriate positions where necessary on both the Early Type(s)
and the 1943 Wintergarten Types. ( U-9 early 99%complete, the rest to follow )
they entered service as Built, and received their wintergartens and weapons upgrades ( including two Flakzwillings and two auxiliary Luftwaffe MG-15s )
in the summer of 1943.
No the MG-15s do not work on the 1943 types but are there for absolute Historical Accuracy like the Black Sea Type IIbs.
What they are not: It is problematic to cut into existing models in a way
that gives good results without having texture problems, or a less then
appealing look in the sim. So I did not do it, but added the best I could
small 3d details to the hull to give the closest approximation to the Type IIb.
I only take credit for these original meshes resizing and editing not the Boats themselves or meshes/textures used to meet my goals, ( if you see something you did and want credit please tell me for the final release
readme )
I need WAC 5.2 Beta Testers to try these out!
Note: as these are 99% done you will notice on the early type IIb no turm eagle, and on all, no crew on deck. Those will be implemented on the final releases.
U-Boats by the Numbers and differences:
U-9 Early/1943 ( the Ritterkreuz Boot ) The RDF Antenna is external to the turm. The Funkraum is on the Starboard side in front of the control room
Bulkhead. Navigation Lights are default.
U-23 has the RDF in the inner turm as the FunkRaum/HorchRaum was moved into the command room port side. U-23 has a reduced low profile navigation light set-up.
No Read Me is included in these early releases!!! JSGME Ready!
they have a "Z" Prefix so they ( should )appear last in the MOD folder, enable last and overwrite when prompted.
U-Boats Type IIb nearly finished/ready U-9, U-18, U-19, U-23, U-24.
all with correct Navigation Lights and Turm Emblems ( as far as I can tell )
