Good evening All,
This my frist post but I have been reading and learning from this forum for sometime now about SH4 & SH3. I read that you can have a battle flag made up for the sub you are in command of in the game if you go to battleflags net.
I am on my fifth (5) mission May 1942 and would like to get this added to my boat, but when I fill out the form on Battleflags.net it say that it does not transmit?.
I have been using an old trick that I learned when I played Silent Hunter (1) to get some tonnage by going into harbors and sinking as many ships as possable. So far 4 DD, 5 fishing vessels, 12 merchants, Total 55234 tons and because I upgraded to dual 20mm AA, 3 zeros, 1 Betty* (Seamen Frist Class Wrefer Marino gunner((yes that his name in game)). When I went to wake island I was awarded the Bronze Star for sinking five ships in that patrol and I took on one of the DD'S like in the movie Run Silent Run Deep, DD coming straight at me heading 0 angle 0 but instead of flank speed I was moving ahead at 1/3, 11:35pm, no moon and got her on frist torpedo (fired two) at 1000yds and she DID NOT SEE ME! That mission was tuff as I had alot of DUD torpedos. (This was not my patrol area but nothing was going on were I was).Now that I have updated to TM 1.6 I will have to see if I can still do this. I found out about the real USS Permit and it was in Australia at the time I am playing, but in game I am at Pearl Harbor, can this be changed with losing my boat? Also the USS permit had two more outside bow tubes added in about 1 year game time (Jan 1943), was this done to all Perch class boats?, can it be modeled? I think that they would be one shot only then she would have to go back to base to reload but two ex tubes in the bow would be nice.

* I left the computer to get a quick drink and forgot to pause the game...:damn:
Lucky me I had left the crew at battle stations as when I came back I heard them shoot down the Betty and I saw the plane hit the water just in front of my boat!!!
I wished I could have capture that picture.
Thank you for you time
