so lemme point you to a mod that brings back most of the stock map icons.

i just ran into this AFTER i uploaded screenshots of my own problem (might be the same as canecao's by the sound of it) but i already exceeded my 5-per-day download limit so lemme just ask you quickly. as they say, picture is worth a thousand words so without further ado....

is this mod gonna bring me back my beautiful gyro angle line (i don't know the exact technical term so i picked that up from the stock-game manual)? because i feel blind without it. it's the only thing keeping me from using rfb.
edit: and i seem to be missing a button for my stopwatch. it does appear automatically when i fire torpedos, but i need my manual switch for when i'm pursuing so i can use it with the nomograph for quick and accurate speed calculations.
also, i'm having trouble with the range finder. that's a mogami heavy cruiser in the third (torpedo) tutorial for rfb, right? well, the attack plotter (as well as the contact update on the navmap) never match the results i get when using the stadimeter.
edit2, here it is:
navmap shows 800:

trying to apply the appropriate method when using optics in an attempt to estimate the range and receiving incorrect results. had i compensated for the ship's starboard tilt (one torpedo impact from my initial attack), i would've gotten 400 instead of 450 m. 400 instead of the correct 800!

how can it seem so wrong and feel so right?

attack plotter shows "lock" on 800:

and of course, this time not a single miss:

yeah, we need better optics, first and foremost. but i'd like to get my gyro attack line and chronometer back as well.
