abso-bloody-lutely! fly anything from the KM ensign to a jolly roger. hell, why not an RN ensign and play as HMS Graph? the animated example in the exhaust thread looked great, just imagine it from the pole on the wintergarden of your boat.

i'd like to see the on/off command with the XO. [you know your boat aint complete without it].

I'm with you. I love seeing a flag flying under my command. Ok I know my next mod to work on. I mod in small steps so first will be adding flags to the subs. Then after that is done I'll look for ways to control them better (they'll be setup like SH3 where they won't display underwater but will always be visible above water).

I think the poll would be good on the subject.
IMHO there is no any reason to enable flag on the deck, except unrealistic eye-candy.

I would prefer a searchlight

no poll needed. If I want it and 1 other wants it then it's time to make it I've already made a jackstaff to add to the subs

Nice work DarkWraith

I have always wanted to see a flag on the Subs. Historically, how often were these flown? Just in and out of Port?

For me, no. The flag would be flown only when coming in and out of port. Hence it's just an object that's going to block my view when on deck and something that would be stowed for 99% of the patrol.

I'd love this really. Especially if you could make it a toggle somehow. The VIIC dual wintergarden conning tower appears to have a flagpole already too.

You have a point there Luke, but it would be great if this mod could work like the Antvart's (I think) flag mod for SHIII. You could use Shift+F to hoist the flag and Ctrl+F to pull it down...
Is that doable in SH5?

Default Me too! me too.

I would like very much to be able to fly a flag from the winter garden flagstaff, but would like the option to pass on any bow jacks, or other flags.

I don't have net cutters on my type VIIC but should any one ever add one as an option would rather it not be cluttered. personal preference not trying to start a fight.

looking forward to this mod would use it frequently.
