Fist of Poseidon

Here's my personal U-boat emblem. It was made to commemorate the patrol where I sank two destroyers that were hunting me after I raided a convoy and earned my boat the right to have an emblem.

Some of you have seen it already in another post. I wanted something unique and agressive, so I made it from scratch with pen and paper, scanned it, then touched it up using PSP X and making it into a .tga with background transparency (using a graphics tablet is murder).

I wanted it to be simple so it was easily recognized and also have the look of having been painted on by hand, by the proud crew in celebration of such a sucessful patrol.

It's currently being sported on the conning tower of my much beloved VIIB, U-47 (I really need to find a unique boat number, too.)

Ive sunk more destroyers than I have merchants...youll wish you never sailed into U-87s hunting grounds. When you pull into port, dont lull yourself into a false sense of security, your mines and subnets are just a petty challenge for my crew and I.

:hmm:

I can't remember exactly.
Fubar VII/C probably.
But I thing it is in my "SH3 Shop" witch you can find on my file front page(Clik below).
If not, tell me and I'll make an other search.


EDIT

I just verify, it's correct.
It's the Fubar VII/C U-253 and it's in my "Silent Hunter III Shop" on file front(and also in many other location).

A pic.

On my last mission, a destroyer hit my conning tower with a shell and blew my embelm off.

Ach die Schweine!

I suggest your next emblem should be an Iron Fist with the middle finger raised, that should show them

Or alternatively you could make it a crosshair with "Tommy Aim Here" below it

Thank you, jimbuna!

I got such a kick from making that custom emblem, that I've been bitten by the bug to make more.

I currently have two more as a WIP.

More to come. Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel!

This was inspired by the "3 x Schwarze Katze" emblem used on a German sub in WW2...

Hi all.
May I ask if someone could make an emblem out of this for me?

According to UboatAces http://www.uboataces.com/ref-insignia4.shtml it is one of the emblems U-53 used.
I guess it should be a red heart on an transparent background but the rest is up to you.
If any of you graphical wizards could help I would be a happy Swede
