User Made Battle Flags

Are you like me; SH obsessed? Too much time on your hands? Rudimentary photoshop sKiLlZ? Then you might have made a battle flag for your boat. Here is my first one after completing my first career. I'm soooo glad I got the Stingray...makes me wish there was a "Gerry Anderson Jumpsuit for Crew" mod.

Thanks! It all adds to the 'immersion factor' for me...or just proves I am a huge dork...

I guess Im a dork then as well, I've been using "shad" as an online name for years
and recently discovered that this was an actual boats name! So I went a downloaded the boats patch and printed it out and put it up on the wall above my monitor...
needless to say the wife thinks Im a dork

Yup, know the feeling. At the threat of hijacking my own thread, nothing has had embarassed me more than my girlfriend coming home and catching me deep into plotting a torpedo attack on a convoy in SH3 while watching Das Boot... in retrospect it made me wish it had the "emergency 'A' key system crash" feature the pre-1.2 SH4 had. At least I wasn't playing Oblivion I guess

Or wearing a white topped kriegsmarine hat.

USS Stingray? Crikey, think you missed one mate.

(Sorry in advance to any offended)

ROFLMAO! Didn't even think of it. Like you said, sorry if my finding this funny insults anyone. (wish I would have thought of it)

Yeah kind of cruel but I couldn't help myself.

Wow, LOL!

I have my own little battle flag of sorts in my sig. Since my ship didnt ever create their own (the ship was lost late '43) I just took the patch and centered it.

I may overestimate myself - but I think a lot of people adopted my sig format for the battle flags.

Great idea though, whoever is to blame

Time to update mine...
