hi markham

been trying to figure out how to use the AOB tool at attack periscope location. I thought if i used Karamazovenew little tutorial it would work w/ yours. I noticed that his AOB tool is very difftent from yours, it seems to have more tick marks & it has the green little chevrons at 45 degree angles. I noticed too that his is set for 6X & yours is for 15X.

My question is , do you have a tutorial on how to use your AOB tool?, or is Karamazovenew's tutorial adaptable to yours?

Great job
Same for other modder who made ACM/OLC GUI/etc but yours gui is my actually used

I have just a question Markham; why in various mod the attack periscope is often "smaller" than observation one? It's an historical "reality" or it's just to have space to place all the button and dials?

Bye

It's because attack periscope IS smaller, than observation one. Look at them from outside. They are designed for different purposes, that's the main reason why. Smaller, attack peri is more difficult to spot, or detect by radar. Observation peri gives wider angle of view, better visibility, orientation. But it's bigger size is the price.

hi Buck_O,

all the AOB wheels works the same way.you only need to know at what zoom level are calibrated to work .
did you read the readsme.txt in documents?
from the readme:

''......
ATTACK PERISCOPE and OBS PERISCOPE
---------------------------------------

each mark at both horizontal and vertical scale (at both scopes) is 1 degree

note:
-----
if you count the half length of ship then each mark at horizontal scale (and only at horizontal) is 2 degrees

the rings for the AOB wheels are setted to work with the maximum zoom of each scope .in other words if you are at attack peri the aob wheel is working at x15 zoom and if you are at obs peri the aob wheel is working at x6 zoom.......''
read the whole readme for more info
other than that the procedure is exactly the same as described by Kara

have a look,also, here at post 79.maybe will help you : [REL] Manos Gui (MaGui)

hi Loltak and Storm,

both scopes have the same fov (in this case 32 degrees) .the obs scope 'looks' bigger becuase the viewport is bigger ....something like that we have 'put' our eye closer to it

Thanks for your reply. I read the readme but, must have been slow in the brain when I did...(it was late, in my defense)

Thanks again, for pointing it out, I get it now..

I really like this mod. Very pretty. Nice optics, as I nailed a tramp steamer from 3300 yards night before last (full manual, no map contact updates), a new record for me.

The only thing, I really miss the u-jagd chrono, as I used to use that a lot for an initial quick estimate of the speed. I tried to figure out how to get that thing back, but I'm not that good yet with modding.
