I understand. But based on movies, paintings, & pictures I've seen, they did wear the formal navy uniform on board submarines, especially towards the beginning of the war (note the officer seated in the painting below, for example). Despite looking nice it was not very comfortable, especially due to the extreme heat and cold you'd experience on your typical WWI U-Boat. Later in the war they were much more likely to wear waterproof pants/jacket, or warm civilian clothes.



I will be adding some less formal clothing to represent what U-Boat crews would have worn from around mid 1915 - 1918. I have already set some of the crew figures to wear the American stock waterproof coat, which you'll notice in some of the latest screenshots. It's a surprisingly good match for the WWI German gear.
