im sorry, i cant remember what it is, but this discussion was in a german forum shortly after the rel. of sh3 and later one guy (a REAL sub freak ) told us about it, but i cant remember, sorry...

short: i guess its not unrealistic at all and was part of the early type VII(B). the later boats didnt had this thing, so its ok to remove it (i think it looks better without it anyway)

just a few thoughts :hmm:

I think it's still called a 'JackStaff' in the U.S. Navy.. it's for the display special kind of Naval Pennant related to Squadron of the Naval Unit... or maybe the Rank of Commanding Officer onboard.. but it's not for the display of a National Flag...
