You can find the recognition book on Terrapin's website (
http://ubrsdlc.realsimulation.com/), but it appears to be down right now. If we can get his permission, I would be glad to put it up on FileFront. It takes some work to put together, but it adds a tremendous amount to realism. I've also got some printouts of real Kriegsmarine maps (not the gamey one that came with SH3) that add a little bit to the realism.
And no, I do not have a mechanical stopwatch yet. I can't seem to find one for a reasonable price.
As for range, I'm hoping to find the time to create a table or whiz wheel that allows you to calculate range knowing mast height and degrees in the periscope/UZO (by counting the ticks in the reticle).
