Gwx2.1 bridge binoculars.
 Having dowloaded and installed gwx2.1.I was wondering if anyone else has this or noticed the bridge binoculars have no compass bearings.The UZo has them but not the binocs.

realism, IRL your binocs can't tell the bearing. So if you want to see the bearing, use UZO

Welcome aboard, Rabid! Binocz wityh bearings came in quite a few years after WWII. The GWX team makes things more realistic for us. GRRRRR :rotfl: :rotfl:

Yes, is more real , but for gameplay it´s more difficult.:hmm:
But in real life is very easy know the aproximate bearing because you can look a bit outside of the ocular lens and see portions of the tower and other.

That's why I use the Uzo instead of the binoculars!

The binoculars without bearings is more realistic but the problem is that within the framework of a game, the player does not possess the awareness of which direction he is generally looking toward so it is impossible within the game to have a general awareness of direction as one rotates the binoculars. I find that I have to use the thumb-wheel while using the binoculars to see which way I'm now facing on the conning tower to give me an idea of approximate bearing. I'm sure there will be some discussion on this topic because it does change habits and makes the game a little bit harder. |
