Here is a skin from actual photo used as texture. I think I am going with this texture for Structure and Tower for improved alberich skin.

Not too far off, I think. Here's a pic of U-1105 "Black Panther," one of the few subs equipped with Alberich, alongside a standard type VIIC. The skin was much more black than what you have so far:



The rubber sheets were also much bigger (as illustrated in the drydock pick of U-11 I posted earlier), and if you're looking for total accuracy, the tiled texture would wrap the whole boat, even below the waterline. I believe the bottom paint was a dark grey or black of some sort on top of the sheets. The coating would also have covered up the rivets that are in the bump map. I sent ya a pm with more info.

Oh, and U-1105 was built after a better adhesive was found, so it's possible none of the sheets peeled off during it's lifespan.
