This Alpha 3.0 version offers a complete working alternative to the original interface. If you use the one of the resolutions below, you can already start to play.

Planned for Alpha 4.0 release:
- miliradian periscope marks
- reworked AOBF wheel to work with the above marks and also made smaller to fit inside the viewfinder, which will allow this mod to work on all resolutions.
- reworked background that will unfortunately no longer keep the general viewfinder size on 16:10 resolutions (you'll still have alpha 3.0 if you prefer it as it is).

Unfortunately this Alpha 3.0 version will only work correctly for 4:3 and 16:10 resolutions. My decision to use a scaling factor of 1 instead of 5 for most items in the background (including the AOBF) was evidently a mistake. I would have to rethink my approach and remake most of the items I've put since Alpha 2. But that won't happen for 2-3 more weeks. I apologize to any that can't use any of the following resolutions:

Supported and tested resolutions:
- 1024x768
- 1152x864
- 1280x800 (needs the wide rez fix)
- 1280x960
- 1600x1200
- 1680x1050 (needs the wide rez fix)
- 1920x1200 (needs the wide rez fix)

Supported but untested resolutions, any resolutions X*Y where X/Y=1.333333 or X/Y=1.6 (needs wide rez fix).

Here are the download links:

Important:
-DO NOT apply this mod directly unless you have the latest OMEGU 210 fix 3. I'll make a documentation soon on how to implement this interface in other mods.
-This mod contains a Sea folder that might conflict with your roster of ships. This folder is not an integral part of my mod but it's there so that you can see the length of the ships in the recognition manual.

This mod only changes the German Attack Periscope Screen. Apart from a minor change to the bearing indicator, you should not see any new items in the American interface. It also changes the zoom level of the camera in both periscopes. The Observation Periscope can be changed to any zoom value, I just made them the same because they were the same in real life. I've replaced the Speed entry in the recognition manual with the Length data. The data is in meters and no, I won't remake it in any other units.
