UZO

"Seems the UZO view doesn´t scale to the resolution when not using 1024x768."

"I used the UZO..."

"UZO"

"UZO"

"UZO!!!"

For the love of all that's holy please stop call'n it an UZO. The UZO was on German U-boats durring the war. On a US sub it's called a TBT (Target Bearing Transmiter). Please read page 64 of your SHIV manual for more information on this wonderful device. Other helpfull sources would include Thunder Below by Adm. E. Flucky and U.S. Submarines Through 1945 - An Illustrated Design History by N. Friedman.

You know, I was prepared to make the very same lecture when I saw the thread title in the forum

Not to be confused with Ouzo which is probably hard to find in the Pacific during the war anyway.

If it used the T key, and the weapons management (missing the ammo for your guns) was back on the I key. I think people would be more willing to use it. Hell even I was hammering T there for a while expecting it to the TBT, even though I was used to U in SH3.

Not far wrong. The original British escort boats were called 'Torpedo-Boat Destroyers', since they were designed to protect the fleets from the small steam-powered torpedo boats, which were the biggest danger. The original TBDs were renamed 'Destroyers' in 1912.
