Of course SH3 doesn't have this, but as the boat keeps an unrealistic very steady course the basic periscope markings can do the job provided you don't move the periscope and steer straight.
The site linked above gives you a lot more information than you would ever want about historical procedures! Someone put a LOT of effort in! |
I'm not talking about the stablized line as much as the stopping of the boat. Whether that was actually used in combat operations vs. pre-war sops. But I could just as easily be thinking of something else altogether.
And yes, I've had that site bookmarked for many years.
