Default Show us your Conning Tower Emblems

We've all seen some interesting screenshots, but I'd like to know what cool and different emblems other kaleuns are using. Here is mine:



It's a coat of arms from one of my ancestors.

That's me ripping Tarjak off and saying my new emblem is also of my ancestry. Still need to photoshop it. Gonna put it on my boat after the next patrol. The above is a crest of Clan Gunn.

And Tarkjak that crest looks an awful lot like the McGuffie Crest:

It's not Irish but Northumbrian. I like the McGuffrie one though. Here are some more from other ancestors and other places that I've used on other boats at various times:

I don't always use this one, but it's one of the few sub emblems i occasionaly use not based on a real uboat. Transparent background in game. Looks pretty good on Fubar's IXC_Latewar conning tower skin. Its a splice between a few emblems ive found in the past. I obviously spend too much time in the carribean... YARRR!!!

Bit of a newbie question this (but then I am a newbie!) how do you make your own conning tower emblems?

I'd really like to make one of my own

Sure. Your custom emblem needs to be in TGA file format and the image needs to be a perfect square (128x128, 500x500, and so on). Place the file in your installation folder titled \SilentHunterIII\data\Emblems\Sub Emblems. You should then be able to choose it from the in-game list
