Periscope: Information gatherer or aiming device?

The position keeper means that if nothing changes and you have a good solution you can even shoot with the periscope down.

However, lots of refugees from the SH3 world of U-Boats are used to a periscope with an always-on connection to the TDC. As they rotate the periscope the shoot bearing and AoB of the target are automatically adjusted. Now, in a collision of cultures, I'm trying to learn how that works to my advantage.

Just as I had trouble (don't think I really succeeded) in explaining to them how the American system works, I'm still in the confusion phase of learning their system. Once I can see the entire process in my mind at the same time I'll attempt to explain it in the SH4UBM forum! I'm just about 3,000 miles away from that right now!:rotfl:
