Nomograph replacement

Jackdaw · 08-25-17, 09:29 AM

Hi Folks!

I think that the nomograph/nomogram (N) is a very useful aid in Silent Hunter. Looking for a quite normal "N" in Yards/NM (SH4) I found quite by chance the so called Nautical Slide Rule. See the pictures.
The three kinds of computing operations you can do with a "N" are also to solve with this instrument and
- much more easier,
- faster
- and (so it looks) more precise.
An additional advantage is that the "N" in the ingame map/chart becomes needless. Good for the frame rate and the overview.

Unfortunately I could not find a picture of the second or inner disc of the ruler. It seemed that it was interestingly only produced (and used (?)) in the USA; a german search brought no positive results. Further people can buy it but it will no longer be new produced. I am, as we say in german, " bin nicht der größte Bastler vor dem Herrn" (I am not the greatest hobbyist before the Lord.(??)) and therefore I post this little tool with the hope that perhaps someone who has the skill, the time and fun to do it can build a replica for the area "utilities". I can imagine that it will probably "sell" like hot cakes?!

Would something like this be helpful?

BTW, the item can be purchased new from Weems and Plath.

Thank you Nathaniel,

a) but your proposal is exactly that I want to avoid - more MB which burden the computing capacities. 2nd reason: I prefer for these calculations a tool universal to use with, for instance, Silent Service 2 up to Cold Waters.

b) I know where I can buy the NSR. That isn't the point. But on the one hand I'm not wanted to pay a price about more than double the game costs and on the other hand there are a lot of tools for do it yourself building for example affecting the generally known AOB problem or the German Whizz Wheel. Therefore I thought that perhaps someone could do this job with the NSR.

Normally, I think, the three computations the NSR offers must can also be executed with the "Angriffsscheibe" (WhizzWheel) but I lost my manual and up to date I only found a invalid link to a older version of KptltHähls version of.

Mmh, meanwhile the nomograph from a plotting sheet must be enough.
