Yikes. My thinking was that their uni's would have been a bit cleaner than in WWII because many patrols had a shorter duration. It's a shame b/c I love the more formal look that some of the Kaiserliche Marine uniforms had, as opposed to the more functional Kriegsmarine clothing.

I suppose I can add some dirt/grease textures to overlay onto the uniforms & bodies.

BTW, good news - last night I managed to get ships to launch boats with the torpedo launcher. Now it's just a matter of cloning the launcher, adding different boat types, texturing, and so on.
