SOAN resembles what you have in mind for a rec manual.

Nope, what you see is the SOAN. Soon as I saw the old SH4 ori 3 recon book layout I just urgently skined the cover. Right now, here is how the SOAN cover looks like at me:
But for the inside part I cannot work out the visual layout just because my skill in editing is poor. As you can see, in my proposal the info is what we got now in SOAN. But organised on pages, instead of a simple sheet. So the main structure is you SOAN and only the ship sil is a bit scaled down to fit better on the left page. I tried to make the modifications by myself, but your mod is so complicated that I had to give up and only imagine how would look like with a SH5 style cover and colors.

You're also forgetting about the FaT/LuT dials that aren't visible until you have pattern running torpedoes loaded onboard. This is why I added the buttons in the torpedo box for the dials. You can enable/disable dials at will to reduce clutter. Via the scope settings (HUD button on torpedo box) you can shift the scope 'view' to the right if you wish. You can also set your scope filters in the scope settings box.

What you see in the images are the minimal dial setting. For the full dial option can be used a simple SH5 style popup screen. Or you can add an arrow at the bottom that can switch the panel and show more dials. I know is easy to imagine things and hard to make them happen, but I try to find a way to make this mod to look like SH5, not SH3 or 4. Point is that those dials just floating all over the screen look weird.
Actually.. why is so important to have dials? SH5 introduced a new way to compute data by forms. If we drop those dials and introduce forms (exactly like is on the stock TDC) there were plenty of space to fill in. We could use dials only for AOB, the rest can be filled with the SH5 style forms.
Thanks for the clarification about the stadimeter. So this means that you really fixed the stadimeter and no matter of what ship I measure, always the tallest point on the ship will give me the right result. Thats awesome, I thought that you mod cheat by just making the stadimeter jumping on the right spot, so there is no room for human errors. This is just great, really great! Thanks.
