I'm not interested in fixes atm, as I would like to try new mod's anyway, just for the sake of experimentation.

I would like to know alternatives, preferably just for the sake of adding new beautiful periscope graphics.

Which mod would that be?

there are only two others and both give great graphics - try them both

Dr Jones UI & Reaper UI.
Both are on the front page of SH5 workshop - so easy to find

I think I have tried Reaper so I will go ahead and try Dr Jones now, it looks damn cool btw.

Btw, how can i use the ring inside the periscope, what is it for? All the different numbers inside the ring. Can you give me a detailed description how to use it? I need to learn.

Here is the ring i'm talking about:

Yes I know that ring well. It is the RAOBF wheel

I wrote an ingame tutorial that teaches you how it works step by step.
You will need TDWs UI for the tutorial to work

You can also read about how it works here clicky click

I've made a document with the steps described and printed it, I think I did it efficiently, but it took longer to use the periscope wheel to attack ships than to do it with map tools. The damn ship passed me before I could finish all the steps.

I need to practice the wheel some more. I think I will do it faster if I combine the wheel and do some other things with map tools.

You can do plots while the game is paused.

[DelphiUniverse]

While we're talking about map tools, I have this "eternal" problem using the ruler. After I have plotted the ship I need to make a straight line through the plots, thats no problem at all. The problem is when my own ship is a bit far away, then I need to scroll the screen while drawing the line in order to make a 90 degree perpendicular line, the problem is that I can't make this line long without losing accuracy, forcing me to zoom a little bit out.

Can I solve this somehow?

[Off the Rails]

Using the map tools, I draw a short line as precisely as possible between the marks, then read off the bearing, zoom out and zoom back in at the point I'm going to end the line. Place the line and try to match the bearing exactly (down to a fraction of a degree), then zoom in on the marks and see how close you were. You can see which way you need to nudge the far end of the line, and get it as close as it needs to be.

stoianm does it here at about 3:30 - 4:30
