No stabilize periscope.

I SH4 you can pause the game and still take measurements. Try it and see if it still works in SH5.

If you're gonna pause to get around it.. then why enable it in the first place?

To get 100% realism and thus max renown.

This reminds me of a question I always wanted to ask: Surely the UZO was on a gyroscope?! In affect making the image stable when looking through the UZO. This obviously doesn't apply to the handheld Binocs or Periscopes.

People care about renown? LOL.

Using it here. Would not know why not to use it. It was a real problem for a U-boat captain - now it's a problem for me...to me that's simulation and immersion

Nope, just bolted to a rotating plate. Periscopes were not stabilized either. Nor was the deck gun.

periscope is fairly stable when below the surface...I hat the uzo when sailing on the surface. Then again I don't play SH5 only SH4+OM atm

Guesstimation. Stadimeters weee expensive and were not installed at some point in the war. Peter Cremer of U-333 was hit by a bomb lost both scopes and UZO pedestal, literally taped binoculars to the bridge and sank several more tankers in operation drumbeat. Just estimate the tick marks, and use a little math.

Better to adjust the renown to get 100% no matter what.

Actually in SH4 you could do what SH3 could not. The split-image rangefinder works at any angle, so you can ignore the bouncing of the periscope and concentrate on the target, without having to pause.

Yeah, I noticed that too, make it 100x easier to get range, doesn't it?

Only if you're good at it. I still suck.

Well I am good at it, even without pausing.
