Ever seen manual targetting done in SH4? The periscope view splits into two images, kind of like what happens when you cross your eyes, so instead of one ship you see two, one above the other. That's what they had on the German subs. Funnily enough, I think I read somewhere that they
didn't have it on the American subs, which makes it's inclusion in SH4 a bit odd... or maybe what I read was wrong. But I digress. IRL, as I understand it, the Germans lined up the top of one image with the bottom of the other by turning something on the scope (which caused the images to move together/apart, and also rotated the discs on the Range/AOB finder). Once aligned they'd read the range from the Range/AOB Finder disc and then rotate the prism in the scope so that the two images are side by side instead of one above the other. They'd then twist the thingy again and align the two images bow-to-stern, and then read off the AOB. This is simulated in the U-Jagd tools in OLC GUI by counting the vertical marks to the top of the mast and manually rotating the disc, then counting the horizontal marks and manually rotating again.
