Default Was a KiUB -like device really used on U-boats?

Hi all,

I have spent all morning searching posts to find out whether the AOBF dials in the KiUB were authentic or not but alas could not find any information on that particular issue.

I used to play Sh3 before and would determine firing solution using Wazzoo's manual targeting, essentially, a lot of map work which I thought was the most realistic (my prefered way of playing) to do it.
Now I've just started playing Sh4 with OM and get this new system, before putting the time to learn it I want to be sure it is a more accurate depiction of the way it was done.
Also if it is the most realistic representation, does that mean the device in SH3 to get a distance reading from the UZO/periscope didn't exist?

Any feedback will be appreciated.

Bump.

No answer so far, the forum seems to have low traffic maybe I should try another sub branch?

Or maybe no one knows for sure. I know I don't.

The forum actually has quite a bit of traffic. Seventy-six people have looked at your thread so far, though none have answered so far.

Good question, but I don't know either.
