New(ish) mod release: Realistic VIIC Exterior

VikingGrandad · 08-13-22, 10:38 AM

An extensive, detailed exterior re-skin of the game's hull and conning towers. The new textures have been carefully drawn, painted and weathered based on research of technical plans, photos, accurate scale model parts, etc. The positions and sizes of some of the deck details have been improvised to suit the UBOAT Type VIIC model.

BACKGROUND
My aims for creating this mod:
1. Since I started playing UBOAT, I've wanted to give the hull and conning tower decks a historically accurate wooden deck with the correct layout and sizes of hatch covers and slotted holes, metal hatch covers, etc.
2. Whilst researching VIIC exterior fittings, materials, finishes and colours, I discovered many other details I wanted to fix/add.

PLANNED FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS & ADDITIONS:
1. Create a set of camouflage skins, based on historical paint schemes.
2. Add similar replacement textures for the Turm II & Turm IV conning towers.
3. Create a mid-late war planked version of the hull deck.
4. Research the layout and details of the sides of the hull and make any possible improvements.
5. Re-skin the AA guns and various upgrade items, such as snorkel, radar detectors, etc.
6. Make the spotlight equipment item re-appear when switched on (and disappear again when switched off).
