Yes, this is an excellent explanation. +1 :up:

the Attack And Observation Scopes of U-Boot-HAHD
 

at these pics is showing the obs and attack scope of U-Boot-HAHD gui .
also (Wolfstriked) you can see the rusty metal console (the console is still in wip stage )

the obs scope :

the attack scope ( also is showing the mini TDC panel that is availiable when player hits the 'tdc' button ):

there will be also at optionals one more version for the attack scope without the 'cuts' at the upper and bottom sides,here :

both scopes are adjusted to follow exactly the real scope's specifications (many thanks to Hitman for the specs info that he kindly showed and gave to me)

now, there are some questions that needs to be answered:

1. there are some sources showing that type iia had only one scope and ,on the other hand, there are sources showing that it had two of them (like the Vesikko for example) .so the question is: did the type iia had ONLY ONE scope or not?

2. there are sources also showing that type iia had NO UZO at all ! can anyone enlight us on this : did the type iia had UZO or not ? (uzo page is completely ready too but i will have to discard it if uzo didn't existed at type iia )

ps: i vote the gothic letters too , John ! very very nice ! :up:

Manos

I found a lot of contadictry info on this myself with reports of one and two scopes but found these which seem to point to the latter of 2 scopes.

Here's a Pic of U-1 the first Type IIa to be launched, appears to have 2 scopes.

Also a set of plans for Type II German Pre WWII submarine, 1935 (D)

The scope positions seem to match the positions of the U-1 Pic above.

EDIT: Reaper I removed the image because it was very big and could result in long load times for some users. There is a link anyway below to where it can be found - Hitman

Plans found here, also more sets available:

Makman looks awesome and the new icons blend in better with it.And now I am torn between the two metal ones.:O:The first one you made is excellent as well.I notice now that the top of the scopes have a bearing AND a heading dial....excellent addition mate!! And the red scope button I assume brings up the RAOFB?

Now a suggestion.:DIn the space above the officer icons where the actual functions of that officer appear....is it possible to have the next level of functions appear smaller and in that box also or even slightly above.Right now you click the NO and then say search pattern...his next functions appear much larger and centered in middle of screen and slightly higher.It would just be icing on the cake for the GUI but also at times when you click for WO to identify target the target name appears under the functions you wanna click.

If it didn't have two scopes at the start, I bet it was later equipped with them for war service. That would also explain the apparently contradictory statements and pictures :up:

very nice findings John :up: seems that we will go for two then

no Wolfstriked, the numbers above the bearing are the digital gyroangle . i put this there becuase the mini tdc panel (when player has it on view) is covering the rounded gyro dial .
the heading of u-boat can be seen by two different palces at scope page (from the left bottom edge of console and from the compass dial when you clic on dials button).
yes, the red button is for the RAOBF tool.

about the smaller secondary officers's orders icons ...there will be no change there . there are some reasons for this but no need to start writing these reasons

yes,probably is like that Alberto...
i guess the same goes for the uzo too , eh ?

For sure the uzo was added later :up:

Ahhh......its the gyroangle:88) I am getting it slowly:up:

Uzo work is not wasted as the Type IID will have it.Are you guys releasing a Type II family or will the first release be TypeIIA exclusive?

I am still alive!
