Moveable Chronometer Independently Functional?

Akmatov · 06-30-09, 07:25 PM

I really like the idea of a Chronometer, but so far it only seems to work as a repeater of the torpedo hit count down. Is there a secret to getting it to function on it's own?

Try winding it up.

Don't listen to these clowns, Akmatov. They can't help it - they were born that way.:rotfl:

Unfortunately the chronometer only acts as a torpedo stopwatch, and no-one has yet been able to change that. I like it because you don't have to leave the periscope up to time torpedo runs.

I use it as the missing second-hand of the clock. When the digital clock readout flips to the next minute I start the chronometer. The dial only shows 12 minutes or something (well it does in OLC's gui) but the second-hand goes on indefinately. Though maybe not anymore if you fire a torpedo. Haven't noticed if it stops or not.

Now I know what I couldn't get this "stopwatch" to work.
