Have a look at this thread:

In particular post #27 by Gino - the US subs did have a range unit to provide a numerical readout but it is not modelled in game
Oh I just checked out that thread and I am gonna cry! Here is what we are missing folks!



This is the "range unit" and it sits just to the left of the A-Scope. See that little window. That is where the range is displayed! How could they have left this out. Not modeling this for the radar set is like not modeling the stadimeter for the periscope!

Shame!

Sorry but this is a real bummer. It proabably wouldnt have taken much time to model this. What a let down.

Well time to make the best of it. Here is my next question. Does that mx100 scale under the A-Scope readout mean that the values are in metric or should I assume that the results are imperial?

I guess they should have made SH4 an open boat where we run around inside and shoot each other a 1000 times. They seem to handle those games with numerous patches. --Longam UBI SHIV Forums
