Improved Church's Observation (maybe more realistic mod)

I found something but not everything a want to

Yes the observation perescope has a ability to rangefinding. Yes the atack scope was smaller in view that the observation periscop.
But i` am not shure about the atachment of both into the targeting bearing system (i hope you understand about what i` am trying to say).
Look how the observation scope is instaled - he is moving by some kind of a wire, very strange and interesting.

Well anyway - i think i will try to find some more info about it and then i will rebild the hole thing all over again in the game.

P.S

ok looks like i found more info here

Why delete the firing solution capabilities / in RL a damaged attack periscope meant the only alternative way to work out a firing solution had to be via the observation scope :hmm:

This is correct O scopes were used in many cases of damage
or malfunctions (not just motor failure but fogging or external
damage from collisions etc.)

both scopes I believe had bearing transmitters in all cases and
I believe that in both German and American cases both
scopes were "combat ready" but with the different properties
described above, larger heads vs. smaller heads etc.

Well i don`t know :hmm: . What you guys saying is prrety much logic but i can`t not find any info in a websites. The only disription i find is the Atack scope is for scaning and firing solution and observation scope is for scaning for aircrafts (the observation periscope has a better night view).
