Magnification of Periscope in uboat!
As I know, the magnification of Uboats' periscope should be 1.5*/6*(IX B/C),but in sh4 uboat add on,it shows 1*/4*,i think it is a small mistake,Can anyone tell me how to fix it or i make a mistake?
Thank you! |

It's a holdover from SH3. The Attack scope was 1.5/6, the Observation scope was 1/4. It wasn't until later that someone (Sergbuto, Rubini, Hitman...one of those geniuses) found out the truth. It's the same for the American boats. It can be fixed, and has several times in SH3. SH4 will happen, I'm sure.

I think also to some degree these were not always the same in every boat. There was more than one manufacturer and more than one configuration

Upppss sorry forgot that detail
IIRC you must open "cameras.dat" in Data\Library. Make first a back up of it and remove the back-up from the Silent Hunter folder -don't ask me why but the game apparently still recognizes the file if it is kept there even with changed name- then start tweaking it. In S3D editor, you will go f.e. to entry 126, then 134 Optical, then 135 parameters. Now you should see in the right part of the screen the parameters you can tweak. Here is an example screenshot, where I have highlighted with red circles the items I clicked to arrive to the proper place. Hope it helps
