i've still got another question about the hitman gui for sh3.
there you've implemented two silver metallic charts...on for the aob i think and one chart for ranges...can you give me some explanation of their use?

You mean the chart at the right with ship silhouettes?
That serves to make quick estimations of range based on the amout of lense the ship is covering. Because we know the field of view and aperture degrees, it is easy to calculate it. So, when you see one of the ships in the graphic covering the lense, you can quickly estimate how far it is. If it covers only half the lense, then its the same distance X2, if only a quarter of it, X4, and so on.
This is not my invention, the same graphic was used aboard uboats in a metal plaque usually fixed near the periscope. For the ever newer, greener and less trained crews that were sent to the Uboats, such things were good aids in the stressful combat moments.
