Actually, they were by me and Hitman. OLC used them in developing his fantastic GUI. See the U-jagd tools for the original tools without the GUI.

But how do I do it without plotting when I'm on the surface and not submerged using the UZO and watch officer ?

EDIT:
I can get bearing, range and speed using the watch officer and the UZO. But how do I get AOB and course without drawing, aob-finder and attackdisc?
If you want to do bearing plots, then you need to draw, for sure, unless you fancy doing it by sliderule.

However, why not use the Attack disk? This is available on any screen and can be used for converting AOBs from target course and vice versa
Oh, sorry mate. I know they were made by you guys(Great work). The thread about the kriegsmarine whiz-wheel . Yeah, I know I can pull up the scope and count horizontal marks and get the AOB or course by the attack disc. It just feels wrong to pull up the scope on the surface ,but I suppose that was how they did it back then. I have one more question, how can the watch officer know the range to the target when UZO or binoculars didn't have any AOB/range finder?
