[REL] 2RTR US Periscope v1.1

[Subsim Monitor]

The mod owner sent this in, it is now uploaded to Subsim Downloads. If you download it, be sure to check for viruses. I did, with McAfee, and it looks clear.


http://www.subsim.com/books/images/New-1.gif2RTR US Periscope v1.1 (2.2MB) (http://www.subsim.com/subsim_files/sh4_mods/2RTR%20US%20Periscope%20v1.1.rar) - I decided that the Periscope needed a rework. I scoured the net, all the books, and videos in my library for information and after comparing every piece of information found on the graticle pattern of the US periscope sight pictures, this is what I came up with. Now, working with the Challenger 2, has given me reasons to make the sight picture rather difficult to peer through. In combat conditions like that which we faced out in the gulf you very rarely have what you would like to call a "brilliant sight picture". Battlefield dispersion stops this from happening. Thus I made this one nice and realistic. By =2RTR= SOMNUS

That actually looks very neat. Especially the background out of focus. :up:

[Fearless]

[Uber Gruber]

I have to agree, it looks mighty!

Please make sure the mod maker gets these words of praise.....and encourage them to join the community.:up:

Look in the readme included with the mod.

[Kataki]

I was trying to edit the background porition of the textures a bit but when I went ingame to test it out the transparent glass porition of the scope was solid black. What am I doing wrong?

[CaptainCox]

Check this thread.

I think that might do the trick.

[Kataki]

Thank you Capn'

[XanderF]

I really like the 'worn' view through the periscope. Something like this should be done for Sh3, too!

[-=2RTR=-Somnus]

Oh wow...

Didn't even notice this was posted here! Class!

Thank you very much for the good praise boys! Very much appreciated!:up:

I am horribly inept...where on earth is one supposed to put the 2RTR US Periscope v1.1.rar file? I downloaded this off of Subsim and there isn't a readme with it, just the .rar file.

2RTR :rock::rock::rock::up: greetings from a fellow "RAC" person ...ex-RDG here ..

nice work on the "reticle" hope to see more of your work m8y :ping::arrgh!::sunny:

[Doolittle81]

I installed the Mod.

I notice that the Mod Scope (on the right below) does not have the solid black line of the 'crosshair' as does the default original SH4 scope (on the left, below).

Is that intentional? Is that historically accurate?

Bump!

[mrbeast]

AFAIK the scope without a horizontal line is correct for some marks of US periscope.

Hiya's,
Looks cool, Gonna try it out asap :)

Many Thanks Somnus

ps: Myself i prefer no horizontal line, Seems less cluttered as i scan horizon (sometimes the line can mask a ship way off in distance and it takes another 360 to find it lol)

Anyways, Thanks Again :)

Have Fun

Thanks, international mod man of mystery! Going to try it out now.:up:

[AVGWarhawk]

Installed it and it looks great. Night time attack with scope will be very hard now.

Open the rar file and the readme is in there:up:

Nice work man. I really love this new look. Night time attack with scope will be harder for sure. Being the US subs night scope was not really that good, this little beauty added a whole new dimension:up:

What else are you hiding from us?????

[AVGWarhawk]

bump

[letterboy1]

It's a keeper for me! Really enjoying it.

[Doolittle81]

IS this Mod compatible with SH4 1.4 Patch?

[Doolittle81]

Bump

[Brenjen]

IS this Mod compatible with SH4 1.4 Patch?

Yes but the 1.5 U-Boat add on looks to have fubared all the "SI" mods I was using; they were/are as follows:

"SI recognition manual kit"
"SI periscope & TBT interface kit"
"SI optics kit"
"SI interior kit"
"SI HUD kit"
& the NSM4 light version all enabled through JGME & that's all I used, no other mods & they were all screwed up by 1.5; even though NSM4 still worked, it didn't seem the same to me. I copied all the mod files & saves & un-installed/re-installed & patched up to 1.4 & put all my stuff back....without my "SI" mods it looks too cartoonish to play. I just can't stand it.:cry:
