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.

My optics are not stabilised, and it wouldn't be a problem except for the inaccurate stadimeter! I too want to make the game harder for myself, and more realistic when possible.

In SH3 I eventually enabled the option in order to make use of OLC's GUI, but I felt guilty to do so

AHAHA!

I never realized that with the split image you dont need to have the scope's horizontal line at the targt's waterline. *slaps head*

Well, I knew it would work in real life in theory, it just never dawned on me that it actually works in SH. I guess i was so turned off by the bobbing scope in SH3, that i never really tried in SH4 with it's split prism.

Can you imagine trying to keep that line stable at the ships waterline while you measure him... the horror!!

Welp. looks like im doing 100% realism now.

Oh yeah, in SH3 you can't do it without the thing stabilized. SH4 is another story altogether, and another reason to play it.
