This method of stabilisation - as primiative as it is - is very possible. In fact one of the earliest British tanks operating in the 2nd world war (the A9 Cruiser IIRC) jused exactly this method ofstabilisation for it's main gun (effectively meaning the gunner's knees became the gun stabiliser. The system worked well (if...and only if you had a well trained gunner) and gave the British the first tank capable of firing accurately whilst on the move (at that time all other tanks needed to be stationary to fire accurately).

Source for this: Bovinton Tank Museum.


If this would work in a moving tank (where movement would be far more exagerated than on a U-Boat), there is absolutely no reason why this wouldn't work as Magic is suggesting.
Thanks for clearify this, Jester !!!

BUT: Have anybody an solution for the problem with the non-stabilize UZO IN GAME, see my first post of this thread ?


Best regards,
Magic
