Its something that has always popped into my head whenever I hear Donitz is mentioned in a documentary on TV.

Hmmm. I tried the tramp steamer as an alternative, but I didn't get any better results. I'll give it anohter go.

Yep, I found the same thing last night, so I'm justifying it to myself as a legit workaround for not having a fake scope hooked up to my PC as an input device!
By they way, if there are any modders listening in, I think it would be cool to have the WO repeating your range, AOB and speed settings as you work them out and then update them. The vocals for the numbers are already there, so you would just need new phrases for "Speed" (probably already in there too), "Range" (also included for contact reports, I think) and "angle off bow".
