LMFAO!! I just realized, this is almost impossible without a real stopwatch IN GAME!

what are we supposed to do? Even using one in real life, then you can't pause or TC .

argggggg

Oh, yeah! There ain't no stadimeter. This is Hitman's optics. Hitman did research on the German documentation and actually looked through the surviving periscopes in museums. Ain't no stadimeters after about 39. Read the documentation with Hitman's GUI about how you gotta use the graticle in the scope to figure range. Welcome to 100% realism PLUS! Seriously, I've been doing it for a while now. get better results than with the stadimeter and faster. And you don't have to make an ID before you can get the range. Gotta practice a little though. But it works. And when that fish hits, boy do you feel good!

Yeah! You do want to put that fixed menu_1024_768.ini in soon. Didn't think about the time sync. I fixed mine right away, before I tried to use the mod.

Ship ID: You click through the nationalities. It's Handelshiffe, before Albania.

ok

I'll do without the stedimeter, but the ship book only shows warships I can't find one with merchants.

Why do I care about the menu? just curious? does it fix in game stuff
thanks

now that I can actually see the contacts on the map(didn't notice before) I can measure distance pretty easily, just drag my ruler from my boat to the contacts.
I can also measure speed,I mark the front of the contact, time for 3.15 and then mark again. measure the distance between the two marks and boom.. so now I have speed and distance.

now for AOB. this is the one I ALWAYS!!! mess up on.. what I was taught was to take my protracter and draw a line into the contact, through it to the rear, then go directly to my boats front.
