A torpedo mod .

I have skinned them all but this is the only one I took screenshots of.

And? Realistic huh?
Did all of them. Same style.

I see you do not use your sea-bottom mod.

Hehehe

No id.
This mod has been made before the floor mod.

Pardon me for asking but are these colors based on real torpedoes?

Come to think of it, what color were real torpedoes? Green? Gray?

Initial G7A torpedo's.

Look at this B&W pic. You can't tell from this pic.

If anything, it shows the main body of the torpedo being a light metalic color (steel?) and the front a dark color.

There's also a color picture, showing a fully greased torpedo being loaded but you can't make out the color under the grease.

What was the color of the torpedoes in the movie Das Boot? I seem to recall them being green. :hmm:

There are a whole variaty of color schemes around. Well anyway they look exactly as they do on the picture.

Here's a pic that looks just like yours. It's a Japanese torpedo, at Pearl Harbor.

Of interest is this page. Scroll to the bottom. That could easily translate from the B&W pic I linked to before.

Seems a shame to waste them on ships after all that polishing, but I suppose I will.

Now they look as expensive as they were!

Thanks!

Here's another real torpedo pic from the Munich Museum. This, too, conforms with the shades shown in the B&W pic. Looks pretty authentic, actually.

Now we need to ask what did the developers base their color schemes on?

Update: The torpedo in the Chicago Museum's U-505 exhibit has a dulled steel body with a green/blue head, pretty much what in-game.

I tell ya, the picture description says : A German u boat crew is loading a pre-war steam torpedo.

(* a color picture *)

btw its a color picture. Will look for the book. I still have it somewhere.

The Avon Lady · 09-12-05, 07:19 AM

Is it this color pic?

And note your book says "pre-war".
