I like very much the new periscope viewer, it is an invaluable tool for learning to estimate the AOB!!!

Would you consider adding to it a function of zoom in/out to represent distance estimation by naked eye (When comparing to the lense field of view) and some more ships to choose from? (Small, medium, large and very large for both merchant and warships, i.e. 75/100/150/200 metres long merchants or tankers and a corvette, a destroyer, a cruiser, and a warship)

Or even better, release it separatedly as an AOB and distance estimation training device. That would be AWESOME, and also replicate a tool that certainly existed in the U-Boat academy!
