31. Improved stop-watches, 1 "count-down" stop watch and (say) a couple of regular count-up ones. Consideration of a bevelled U-boat watch view, where the bezel can be set to a TOI, which used in conjunction with the count-down stop-watch (ideally with both simultaneously in view, can allow a known TTI (time to impact) being matched. Second hands on the clocks would also aid in this. I believe it's the case that stop watches were mounted, rather than held on the person usually? A view at the AP periscope not at the eyepiece with mounted count-down stopwatch and wrist-watch view in view, as there was in SH3 (?) might be useful. Ticking clocks and watches would be a nice touch when the sub is running at silent-running? IMPLEMENTED (addition of "second-hand" to clocks)
