Hardcopy Recognition Manual for GWX 3

Hardcopy Recognition Manual

Hi guys - well, I had a day off today and decided to do something I've wanted for a while. A real, hardcopy recognition manual for Silent Hunter, that you can use without flicking through that awful one on the Atk Periscope view which gives you RSI trying to find a small freighter...

To that end all the ships are in tonnage order. When you see a ship you can tell roughly what its size is, so you should be able to jump straight to the relevant section. It also groups similar-sized ships together, so it'll aid in gauging sizes by identifying similar features (similar mast/funnel sizes for example).

It's a PDF file, download, enjoy - that's it! I'd recommend printing it A5 if you can, because there's lots of pixellation. This is what I call a sledgehammer product - this is literally a collection of screenshots cut together on MS Word and saved as a PDF. So it's not aesthetically perfect, a bit rough around the edges but it'll do the job.

I'm aware there are some of these out there already, but the only ones I could find were in German. Also, I know people have many MANY mods out there which change the merchant fleet, but since I only have GWX and OLC gold I thought this would be closest to most people's fleets.

I have kept the screenshots and Word file so if anyone has any huge gripes with this let me know and I'll try and amend.
