Hallo everybody

I don't wirte many coments, but i do play SH series right from SHII. Some bugs in this game, and some common opinions of moders / users makes me very tired.

Some of you understands word "realism" as " as difficult as possible". I do understand and i do disagree...

First question - was periscope gyro-stabilised? no - makes no sense.
Second - was UZO gyro stabilised? No. Was it stabilised? Hmmm.....

Let me explain...
There's probably small group of you interested in WWII British tanks. There was one early war tank with stabilised gun.

No- there was no gyro inside. A stabilisation was "human driven" a gunner stabilised a gun by own knees. Seems funny?

The same idea was with greman UZO. There was no gyroscope, stabilisation was made by operators knees. If you have a binoculars at home - you can easy check, that it's easy to use them even wihle you on the swing. You can always feel where's the top and wthere's the bottom (if you're not drunk)

It's eaven easier if your binocular is fixed to some suport (especially if you're drunk).

Ingame we have to stabilise the view of UZO "by mouse" - it's anywhere near to realism, and completley unnecessary. As i see it - UZO shall be stabilised +/-20 deg. Biger movements should destabilise the view.

Sorry for my english.

Guesstimation. Stadimeters weee expensive and were not installed at some point in the war. Peter Cremer of U-333 was hit by a bomb lost both scopes and UZO pedestal, literally taped binoculars to the bridge and sank several more tankers in operation drumbeat. Just estimate the tick marks, and use a little math.
