im sure you could find something online

an old navy salt and ex BB 34 crewman had a WW2 era American flag that he said once sailed above the USS New York, he was offering it for sale.

listed Dimensions were somewhere on the order of 29ft in length

EDIT: i do agree... the flag in SHV needs to be not quite half the size they currently have it at

Letum · 02-05-10, 08:09 PM

The size and position (Aft!) in Mikhayl's photo would suit me.

but quibbling over flag realism in SHV is like complaining about wet socks on the Titanic.

I did a quick google search and found this:

That says 30 ft as well

They have probably made the flag so large to aid in ship ID whilst looking through a periscope??

For the influx of new players they are assuming will buy the simulation.

Nisgeis · 02-06-10, 04:59 AM

As long as they aren't floodlit at night, I'm fine with it.

Sgtmonkeynads · 02-06-10, 05:02 AM

So why not just put "SHOOT ME" or "DON'T SHOOT ME" on the sides in big letters....ah crap....that's a feature on easy.... well crud.

This ship isn't even available to look at on the main UBI site yet, where'd it come from ?

(edit) wasn't having your flag lit up at night a rule for neautral ships though, so for them it'd be o.k. right?

exponent8246 · 02-06-10, 05:11 AM

Yeah, I hope the flag is not that size on anything other than the "easy" setting??
