Periscope target marker

[Doolittle81]

Is there any way to disable (make it disappear) the little triangular yellow/gold/green/red marker which you see when you pass over a ship? Can a Mod be made to allow that?

I would like to do some pictures "through" the scope, but the marker makes it difficult and looks artificial in the pictures.

Isn't this just a function of the reality settings? I've never seen this triangle thing in my game, but I've always played with fully-manual TDC/targeting, and I thought this triangle thing was a targeting aid that you only see if you've got your realism settings setup for some sort of auto- or assisted-targeting mode.

I don't know if there's any way to get rid of the triangle thing and still use the auto/assisted targeting mode - is that what you're referring to Leo? It would be nice if removing the HUD for screenshots would remove the triangle as well.

But there are some people who do not use manual targeting but would like to tell the weapon's officer and watchman what they are before the game figures out the targeting for the torpedo's. So he is trying to set the game up so that this feature alone can be shut down in a seperate check box for the game and still keep automatic targeting set up's. I hope you understand what I mean by this explination.

Yeah - I understand now - that would be great - I'm all for more options when it comes to stuff like this. And I'm all for screenshots through the scope - some of my favorite SH4 shots have been like that (like this one):

Exactly.....you've hit the nail on the head. I don't want to go totally manual (Yet), but I want thru-the-scope screencapture capabilities without the little triangle showing...... and it seems also that the targeting will/could be half way towards manual, if that makes any sense at all...
