So where's my Flag!?

CobraDriver · 09-30-08, 04:08 PM

You know, my boys are out there for weeks, I bring them into port for some booze and broads, they have done magnificently on this 8 week jaunt. They are responsible 4 composite freighters and 2 destroyers silenced and put to sleep.

I have them lined up outside on the deck as we pull in to port, all spiffy in their whites and just then I tell my 1st Off to hoist the colors and he tells me, "sorry I can't find them".

"Can't find them?!?" he was right as far as I could see, we have no colors available and waving proudly after a job well done.

It brings tears to my eyes.

Well, there used to be a flag-making company called 'Racerboy Productions'. They had an international license and were making flags for the Kriegsmarine. Unfortunately they had a strike and couldn't even put out enough flags for all the u-boats, so the ones they did make got distributed only to the type VIIs.

They seem to be out of business these days, and no one else seems willing to enter the flag market - maybe it's not lucrative enough.

We can only hope that someday someone will begin to manufacture flags for American submarines. Until that day, though, we are stuck with having to admire the ones flown by our surface-navy brothers.

You can add flags to subs same as a surface ship, but they are on there all the time, not just entering port. If there is a way to change that I don't know how.

I just added one to the Jyunsen b.

I believe on the rear of the Fleet Boat is an antenna, right? I don't think you want a flag on your antenna do you? So the problem is where to put it.

Look it up.

Put it on the mast at the back of the boat.

There is a post in here by Mikhayl that the the crew controller only controls the movement of the crewmember. You need to use the 'visibleunderwater' controller set to false. Like so:

Seems you met the girl of your SubSim Christmas Dreams while in port:

Zoom out further to see the flags to plot a correct course. Have a beer, and hope you never meet her [Mrs. Santa Claus]. Look for some better looking broads in the game. You should not subject your crew to Celibacy based on the above photo.

I expect a detailed report on finding some good looking broads [with pictures as proof] within the game.

When you compile said report, make sure you report in before re-posting ever again if you want to still want to be the owner of the Family Jewels.
