View Full Version : What symbol on your tower?
What symbol do you carry on your conning tower?
I fight with either the "4 Aces" or I use the "Black cat".
Lucky 8 ball usually.
Or Felix the cat.

At the moment I have what can only be described as the Kraken dragging a ship down into the abyss :cool:
Its the green octopus/Kraken emblem,think it was included as part of the GWX3 package,and is VERY good!.

Lol I didn't even see the cursor looking at it this time, much less when I took the shot.
All I see is the big unskinned strip on the deck. Managed to fix that, though. But I STILL take screenies with the darn cursor in them.
When I go through all my screenies after exiting a session, the process sounds a lot like this:
"ooh... ahh... that's a nice one... ooh look at that... dammit... dammit... dammit... ooh shiny... dammit... dammit... dammit..."
@frau kaleun
How the heck did you place the symbol to the front of the tower?:o

The emblems themselves are ones that came with the game or GWX, I just modded them for colors I liked more and to blend better with the skin I'm using.

That would be the one that combines privateer's mods with TarJak's emblem collections, yes?
I looked for that in his Downloads stuff but didn't see anything that looked like it contained both mods and emblem packs. Shoulda known you'd have it on hand. :up:

I didn't mention this, but in case someone is wondering why my deck crew is
looking a bit strange, it's because they tried that infamous soup from you know
who. :-?
But even under these tough circumstances, they know their duty and stay
on deck.
Or maybe that is because we keep the hatch closed :hmmm: :haha:

Paul,
The U-Boat you refer to is U-621 which has a sawfish spearing a plane on both sides of the tower and the green octopus on the front. If you download Aces Super Turms V4 this is included in a set of Type 7 emblems that i produced for this mod. There are over 100 historically accurate towers represented but at the moment it is only for version 1 of the tower, if you use version 2,3 or 4 it will not correctly displayed.

Apparently under command of this guy,Kruschka,who obviously sounds very German,maybe Polish parents?

Max Kruschka was born 7 May 1919 in Schleswig on Jutland. He died on the fishing vessel Senator Predohl on 12 April 1948.

Historical if possible.
2. Flotilla (usualy applicable).
The Runic S (Snestorm) failing all else.
But, not having external view, it doesn't do much.
The screenshots in this forum is the only way I've ever had of viewing the boat externaly, except from the watch tower.
Thank you screenshot posters.

Does anyone have any references to the emblem featuring what looks like a Blackbird or Crow perched on the periscope jutting out of the water?,looks quite amusing and actually that little bird looks like it is a keen lookout! may pick this for my new career in U-50!
NOTE - I like Blackbirds too,love to hear their song,could make for a good radar warning reciever haha.
