Mods for measuring horizontal angle.

Hello everyone, I'm playing SH3 with GWX 3.0 and TMT v2. I like to manually find target's AOB, distance and speed. Once I've identified the target I do the following:

For speed measurement I measure time the target needs to cross the vertical bar on my scope. Since speed is length divided by time I can obtain the speed. For distance I use the stadimeter. Finally, for the AOB I use the law of sines. Given ship's length, horizontal angle it spans and distance I can calculate the AOB. Trouble is that horizontal angle on the periscope is located at the top part of the periscope which reduces the number of dashes I can count in order to find the horizontal angle.

So, my question is: Is there a mod that has horizontal dashes placed at the center of the periscope that allows me to measure the horizontal angle or a tool that can measure the horizontal angle?

Note: For GWX on attack periscope (10 x zoom) 1 dash is about 0.149 degrees. For observational periscope (4.5 x zoom) 1 dash is about 0.227 degrees and I'm not certain about the last significant digit. Also, I played with U-jagd and I don't like it.

Cheers!
