Like the Is-Was, this is just a small update.
Testing with it has gone well and I'll send you something, hopefully, by this weekend to test out.
Like the other mod, it'll have a version where you do things manually and another that you just activate and carry on.
I still haven't been able to get this to work with "dragging" the slides, so that's something in another "V2" someday if I can get that to work. So far, nothing.
The only stations you'll be able to technically use it is at the two periscopes and at the TBT since you need the Torpedo Spread Angle dial to work the cursor and the AOB dial to work the slides.
The original version had one slide with two sides, but this will be two slides with one side which will move in unison with each other. The main portion of the slideruler has been duplicated so you basically have one slideruler next to the other one. The one on the left will be for regular math, while the one on the right will be the one set up for "angle" problems (sin, tan, etc.) instead.
I found some nice manuals in PDF that explain the use of the thing in general, so the only thing I'm going to have to do is put together a readme for testing and, once done, an actual "manual" on how to use this thing to help in targeting.
It's going to be part of the stopwatch, so you'll be able to drag it around to wherever you want until you're done. Then you can either close out or just move it off to the side until you need it again.
I decided on the stopwatch because time is used for various functions in the sim to get data. I realize US subs didn't use the "periscope wire" method for speed, necessarily, but I know many users do. Even if not too historical, it's at least convenient, so now you have a tool right "on-screen" like the German side that you'll be able to use to estimate target speed and range -- meters or yards irrelavent -- because it's actually a mechanical calculator designed for math. As long as you have the correct formulae to work with, you're good to go.
If you are interested in testing, please just PM me when you have a chance and I'll send you the link once the test package is put together.
Salute!
