Yes, some elements of the German interface cannot be ported to the American interface, but this does not apply to attack disks and AOBs.

The attack disks are in G3F, and G3F for both the German and American side is shared. If the attack disk is in fashion, then both sides have it.

AOB for America can be done, I'm afraid to mix something up again and explain it incorrectly, it's just that there is such a possibility. A couple of times I saw people who just boasted that they had transferred the AOB to America, but I don't remember how the AOB worked for them - good or bad.

All these devices 'is-was', omnimeter, AOB for America in my opinion are useless, because manual targeting DOES NOT work.
For example, if you look visually, the omnimeter counts something very accurately and well. You start taking data from it and entering it into the TDC, entered it, then you shoot and the torpedoes go by.
The Germans have manual shooting - I took data, entered data into the TDC, shoot and hit. Moreover, the Germans can even take data with someone else's omnimeter, enter it into the TDC and there will be a hit.
More useful are the WW-1 torpedo firing tables than these tools.

About attack disks - I only recommended these disks to you so that you can see relatively quickly whether your 'linear disks' are working, or not working, or not working well. Whether you should continue writing your own mod or not.

You want more - In order to build these disks into your mod, you need to deal with the small buttons that these attack disks activate. It's even harder than with the attack discs themselves to figure out how they spin.
