[REL] 2RTR US Periscope v1.1

Subsim Monitor · 04-15-07, 11:51 PM

The mod owner sent this in, it is now uploaded to Subsim Downloads. If you download it, be sure to check for viruses. I did, with McAfee, and it looks clear.

2RTR US Periscope v1.1 (2.2MB) - I decided that the Periscope needed a rework. I scoured the net, all the books, and videos in my library for information and after comparing every piece of information found on the graticle pattern of the US periscope sight pictures, this is what I came up with. Now, working with the Challenger 2, has given me reasons to make the sight picture rather difficult to peer through. In combat conditions like that which we faced out in the gulf you very rarely have what you would like to call a "brilliant sight picture". Battlefield dispersion stops this from happening. Thus I made this one nice and realistic. By =2RTR= SOMNUS

That actually looks very neat. Especially the background out of focus.

That it does.

I have to agree, it looks mighty!

Please make sure the mod maker gets these words of praise.....and encourage them to join the community.

Look in the readme included with the mod.

I was trying to edit the background porition of the textures a bit but when I went ingame to test it out the transparent glass porition of the scope was solid black. What am I doing wrong?

Check this thread.

I think that might do the trick.

Thank you Capn'

I really like the 'worn' view through the periscope. Something like this should be done for Sh3, too!

Oh wow...

Didn't even notice this was posted here! Class!

Thank you very much for the good praise boys! Very much appreciated!

I installed the Mod.

I notice that the Mod Scope (on the right below) does not have the solid black line of the 'crosshair' as does the default original SH4 scope (on the left, below).

Is that intentional? Is that historically accurate?

Doolittle81 · 11-16-07, 04:57 PM

Bump!

AFAIK the scope without a horizontal line is correct for some marks of US periscope.
