You will report immediately to your commanding officer for disciplinary actions yet to be determined. There is no such thing as "silly" in the United States Department of the Navy mister! Dismissed!!! :salute:

:har: Actually though, are you referring to the white government issue canvas cap, or the green government issue N3 Utility Cap, or the tan government issue Chief and / or Officer's Caps, or the government issued brain bucket known as a helmet? In all cases though, the crew is "dressed" with a combination of the CrewMembers3D.upc file in Data / UPCData / UPCCrewData folder, and the Data / NSS_SubName folder in the NSS_SubName.upc file in the various WatchAccessoriesFor[Adding/Subtracting]3DObjects and the various BattleAccessoriesFor[Adding/Subtracting]3DObjects entries. Those are also listed in each of the conning towers for the boats that have them in the UPCData / UPCUnitsData in the respective UnitParts#BoatName.upc files, of which there are multiple entries for each conning tower under each UnitPart # section entry. :arrgh!:

These green canvas caps.
Are these stock to the game? I never saw them in vanilla SH4.

Note that most are in their 'dixie cup' hats, but one of the look-outs might be wearing an N3. It looks like a couple that are on deck are wearing machinist's caps, the little short-billed thingies... they so seldom got to see daylight while on patrol... :arrgh!:

firstly, enlisted men were issued blue dixie cups during the war. i have photos of my dad wearing one.

secondly, and more importantly, when are we going to get BAR's in FOTRSU so we can shoot at mines!?!?!?!?!
:har:

Yes, "blue" was an onboard ship dixie cup color pre-war, but my dad did not get one in 1943 when he came in. It used to signify a sailor "on duty", correct? My dad got the whitie tightie only, which went with dungaress, whites, and dress blues, situational dependent, and he also had the Donald Duck hat with the little cut ribbon hanging on it, for full-dress blues. But his main onboard cap was the N3, which was distributed beginning in 1943. Unfortunately, we cannot "date" the clothing worn in the crew files, but we do attempt some control in the conning towers, or UnitParts files.

As for the BAR, we might be able to mount a 50cal mg to the bridge wings... have it show along with the crewman during Battle Stations... But that would be a bit of an undertaking... If there were any "commands" left, we could do an "Easter Egg" button combo that would put a fellow like that on the cigarette deck, but alas, all the slots are taken... I don't know as the game has a way to have a rifle shoot though... I have shot at mines with a 20mm, and they will blow-up from that, but man, talk about a tough chore...
:arrgh!:

I don't know how long this image will be up:

Oh, but I want to... :har: - imagine trying a surface attack, calling battle stations and some idiot shows up on the cigarette deck with a BAR. How realistic would that be? :D
