Any interest in an IS-WAS for SH3?

Hitman · 04-29-07, 03:22 PM

I recently finished a printable is-was for SH4 that can be had in this topic here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=106923, and in the way I learnt a lot about this simple but sophisticated tools. I have seen several designs, and I am thinking of using my templates -it's just a little work now that the most time consuming part is done- to create a wiz-wheel specifically designed for SH3, i.e. with meters as measuring unit and with Kriegsmarine emblems and such stuff. The idea is to be able to get target's course and speed from two different range measurements at different time intervals -no matter which interval, does not need to be three minutes, and can be any other you prefer- and make targeting at 100% realism (No God eye) much easier.

I would start the task if there is interest in it, and also can do it to be used in the backside of Etchasketch's AOB finder if you like to.

So if you want one, post your request here. If enough people demand it, I will do it.

Put me down for one. I've lost interest in SH4 ATM. Much rather be using SH3 until things get fixed, but even then I think i'll still be using both.

Hitman, I would definitely be interested. I've seen the one developed for SH4 and it looks pretty professional. This would be a very nice addition for the SH3 game. Hopefully others will feel the same way. Thanks for going to the effort of developing this for SH3. Cheers EmeAzul

I'd be interested - if I could figure out how to use the thing

I'll read more about it.

I've been a fan of wizwheels in RL. It would sure help in SHIII. Thanks for your enthusiasm for sharing.

I would love one thanks for the hard work Hitman

I have tryed to learn manual TDC for ages but failed. Now this sounds like a system that even i can use.

Me too please! As a lowly auto user this might help to shake me from my laziness and get the old grey matter working a bit more.

Im also in for this!

Hitman · 04-30-07, 07:42 AM

OK mates don't worry, it WILL be done

I have already some ideas of how to make it look like, but if someone can provide pictures of Kriegsmarine wiz-wheels, slide rulers or other similar tools it would help giving it the proper "historic feel"

Thanks

Here are a couple of things just for 'look and feel' purposes:

http://www.sliderulemuseum.com/Nestl...Nestler_20.jpg

http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru....php?p=1868372

Both should be at about the right time period.

Note the conversions on the back of the first one: It gives the M/S for 1 knot, 0.514.

I'll take one. Thanks

Ack! I didn't learn how to use a slide rule in high school!

Guess it'll be one of the many new things I've learned since playing SH3.
