Default Which user interface mod is the best?

I've tried TheDarkWraith's New UI and I liked it very much. Unfortunately the game won't progress when I have it installed and the game crashes a heck of a lot more often with it installed, so I uninstalled it, against my wishes. I'm not interested in fixes atm, as I would like to try new mod's anyway, just for the sake of experimentation.

I would like to know alternatives, preferably just for the sake of adding new beautiful periscope graphics.

Which mod would that be?

there are only two others and both give great graphics - try them both

Dr Jones UI & Reaper UI.
Both are on the front page of SH5 workshop - so easy to find

I think I have tried Reaper so I will go ahead and try Dr Jones now, it looks damn cool btw.

Btw, how can i use the ring inside the periscope, what is it for? All the different numbers inside the ring. Can you give me a detailed description how to use it? I need to learn.

Here is the ring i'm talking about:

Yes I know that ring well. It is the RAOBF wheel

I wrote an ingame tutorial that teaches you how it works step by step.
You will need TDWs UI for the tutorial to work

You can also read about how it works here clicky click

I've made a document with the steps described and printed it, I think I did it efficiently, but it took longer to use the periscope wheel to attack ships than to do it with map tools. The damn ship passed me before I could finish all the steps.

I need to practice the wheel some more. I think I will do it faster if I combine the wheel and do some other things with map tools.

You can do plots while the game is paused.
