I really like the higher more prominent Musashi position as it allows the national flag to be seen without being obscured by the other two surrounding flags Yamato: Spoiler Musashi: Spoiler Edited January 24, 2018 by Dodgy_Cookies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't explain it any other way if you have Yamamoto on the mushi and not the yammy is it the very same pic either way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The pictures are with Yamamoto on both. The flag position doesnt change even if you have a regular commander in place either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,425 Ramsalot Members 3,114 posts 13,609 battles Report post #9 Posted January 24, 2018 Actually they used totally different model from Yamato. There are a lot of small differences. When it comes to flags, not only the position is different, but Yamamoto flagpole is straight on Musashi, and angled on Yamato. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They even removed the boats at the after deck of the Musashi (HSF camo). Maybe they sell them to buy some chip and soft drink ....lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's caused by the HSF camo adding some radar antennae where the flagpole goes. If you have Yamato and Musashi both with their IJN camos, the Yamamoto flagpole is the same.
