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.

Fourth picture down

* I left the computer to get a quick drink and forgot to pause the game...

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
