This must be great in estimating target's range! 
Is this historically realistic in U-Boats? |
They used all manner of sliderules for all sorts of problems, but i didn't have good images of them and i wanted to avoid having too many specialised sliderules.
This one is, as i said, modelled on the sliderule on the back side of the USN ISWAS.
Basically, sliderules are sliderules no matter which country made them. they do the same things really. I chose this design because firstly i had clear templates, secondly it provides accurate measurment of degrees 1-6, thirdly because this slide rule +the aob finder (which is also a slide rule) pretty much cover all your slide rule needs.
There really is no liimit to the problems that can be solved by the use of these two tools, but the manuals in the mod package deal with the main uses you will come across.
