Good

A few remarks:
  • naming your releases with version numbers would help us in keeping our charts updated

  • I have the following suggestions for chart/categories naming and grouping:

    • Grouped under the category Maps
      Minefields and Anti-submarine Nets Map instead of Sperrnetze

    • Grouped under the category Weather Charts
      Beaufort and Douglas Scales instead of beaufortdouglas
      Beaufort Scale with Pics instead of beaufortpics

    • Grouped under the category Plotting Tools
      Maneuvering Board instead of maneuvering-board
      Timepiece Board or Timekeeper Board instead of Bearing Times Chart

    • Grouped under the category Target Data Assessment Charts
      AoB Assessment Chart instead of AOB
      Range Assessment Chart instead of Range Chart
      Speed Assessment Table instead of Speed Chart

    • Grouped under the category Torpedo Settings Charts
      Safe Torpedo Depths Table instead of Torpedo Depth chart
      90 deg Torpedo Bearings Table instead of 7. Torpedo strait-run chart

    • Grouped under the category Other Charts and Tables
      Trigonometric Table instead of sincosine

  • If you prefer, you can use progressive numbers or letters for category/charts names sorting, i.e: "I. Maps", "II. Weather Charts", etc.

  • As far as I know, the names of TDW cfg files don't need to follow chart categories naming; i.e. the same file can contain charts assigned to different categories

  • If you like my categories system, you could make New UI's default charts to follow them: i.e. change TDW's "Shipping" category to "Maps", assign the flag recognition manual to the "Target Data Assessment Charts" category. Personally, I would also rename TDW's "Speed conversions" category into a more generalist "Conversion Tables".

  • Two other handy tools that you should add to your mod are the simultaneous hits slide ruler by sublynx, and the AoB slide ruler by stoianm. If you want, I can give the latter a proper look, to fit the rest of the charts. Use permission for it shouldn't be a problem



  • Some cool posters of the units in service with main WWII navies are found at the following link:

    Imo they would make a nice, though dispensable, addition to your mod. Again, if you like them, I can give them an old Kriegsmarine paper look
