[WIP]SKIN: SH5 Tarnmatte Anechoic Coating

[NZsnowman]

I am not sure how important this is but I noted that the Alberich texture and the Free-Flooding Vent Patterns is incorrect. I can provide you some correct drawings of both if you want them.

You can see my drawing of the Alberich tile here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anechoic_tile


Free-Flooding Vent Patterns

Free-Flooding Vent Patterns for U-1105, U-1106, U-1107, U-1304, U-1306 and U-1308 (or Type VIIC/41's with the Alberich coating).

Below are the Free-Flooding vent patterns for the U-boats above. The vent patterns are base on photographs of U-1105. In the images below, they display the standard Free-Flooding vent patterns for a Type VIIC’s (bottom drawings) and the new layout for boats with the Alberich coating (top drawings). The German’s made the vents bigger, and had fewer of them for boats with Alberich coating.

Bow Vents




Diesel air inlet vents on the main bridge casting.

If you need any more information on this let me know, happy to help.

The Skin is for a Type VIIC. I know there are a few differences between VIIC and VIIC/41.
I will see what can be done when making a VIIC/41 Skin.

The Side Structure Free-Flooding Vent Holes are actually part of the 3D Model, I do not paint these holes in place. I am unable to move them but I can Paint additional holes.

Pretty sure diesel air inlets are just painted and bump mapped. Moving changing these would be easy.
