Has anyone figured out what, in WAC, changed my ability to "lock" targets in periscope? The UZO is not affected and can still "LOCK" targets at very far range. I say WAC as I don't remember targets being so difficult to lock in periscope view in a straight SH3 installation?
I don't like the "LOCK" at all...but it's the only way to get targets, which are plainly visable, to show up on my chart. If they won't "LOCK", they won't stay on the chart (map)...no matter how well I can see them in the periscope.
The perfect answer would be to "unhook" the lock from the target showing up on the map (chart). If I can see it using any sight based device (eyes, binoculars, UZO or periscope) then it should show up on my map. This is how I believe it would have REALLY worked? I'm not sure which officer would be responsible (NO,WO) but someone would have been recording bearing and range information to a visable target on a chart, I would assume.
I realize this is a fundamental flaw in SH3...but WAC just makes it worse by making the target lock more difficult (no offense, Hans! It's not your fault!). I would like to suggest something, however. Make the target locking ability even easier...if I can see it I can lock it! Those of us who believe in reality will ignore the target lock...BUT...the visable targets will show up on our maps, as they should.
What do the rest of you think?
