Looks very interesting. Thanks.

I apologize for my ignorance and lack of knowledge about uboats, but could you tell me how historical accurate these tools are? What is spot on historical and what has to be adjusted for gaming purposes? Thanks.

yep, This is what I thought it would happen when you add a guy like OLC,
and some permisions toghether, and then mix the all stuff with the right
objects to mod and his skill, the result is this!


Now isn't this better then the adapted version of the TDC controls in
the uzo and periscope ???

I think it's way past better, it's outstanding work, and very usefull for
the ones who use the manual targeting sistem!


damn cool work mate!

Hitman has extensively researched these tools (and much much more - he's a walking u-boat encyclopedia ) and IIRC according to him:

The chrono speed-finding method and Range/AOB-Finder tool are both 100% historically accurate (the Range/AOB Finder was literally laid over the scope as you see it in the screenshot above). However IRL the Range/AOB finder was only used to find the AOB; although it could just as easily be used to find range, the german u-boats in WW2 had a more accurate method: the split prism scope stadimeter (which you've probably seen in SH4). However a split prism stadimeter mod for SH3 is probably not possible without an SDK (and would anyway certainly be out of the scope of this mod) so the Range/AOB finder is used instead.

Judge for yourself
