[REL]U-jagd tools mod 1.3

[joegrundman]

It doesn't make any difference whether you install mid-patrol or not.

Did you use the DIY kit or the stock/GWX ready install version?

The dials are hidden from view under normal circumstances so as not to get in the way.

To get the AOB finder, you hhave to click on AOB/Lagewinkel on the Notepad in the periscope view.

To get the attack disk, you must FIRST select the Navigator office and THEN it slides out from the bottom of the screen - you can just see it when you hit the navigator officer at the bottom, then move your cursor tot he bottom and it will pop up.

To get the sliderule, do the same but with the Weapon Officer.

These officers must therefore be at their posts to find these tools

Hope this helps

Thanks for assistance.

I'll retry installing ASAP. I used the no-DIY version, as I don't get any warnings about the mod from JSGME when installing.

It IS possible, that I just didn;t know, how to find the tools. But I didn't find that info in the "U-jagd tools mod 1.3" doc. - if it is somewhere there, it's a bit hard to find. a special subsection "How to find the tools" would be helpful.

By the way: the doc. states, that the rar contains:
- Hitman's manual on conducting a sliderul attack,
- your description how to use the slide rules to do a passive sonar approach,
but I don't have them. I got the Hitman manual from other source, but would be happy to read your no-visual approach one.

Thanks for the mod.

Damn it i forgot to include it. I'll get ot that, but you can d/l it as a separate pdf from my filefront. it's called "using the SACF to make a passive sonar approach" It's quite technical, and makes extensive use of the attack disk and sliderule to get you into a good firing position on a target you have never seen.

You still need to have a visual before firing though.

PS. just had a look. Hitman's article should be there. It's called NoTDC tutorial for S-boats. It's written with the American SACF and the SH4 S-boats in mind, but basically it is identical to using the U-jagd sliderule and attack disk for a ww1 style attack

PPS Generally I'll take another look at the manual and implement the changes you recommend

thanks

OK there will be a patch for this mod. Apart from the missing guides, since I've finished this update and played a patrol of GWX, I've come to the conclusion that even more graduations on the AOB finder would be useful.

You can see what I mean by this sample of the inner ring of Zikuwi:

What I especially like in your mod are the original German names of the tools. That really adds to immersion, keep that that way!

OK I released a patch that will convert your 1.3 to 1.3.1

The patch is some minor graphical adjustments to increase the number of graduations on the scales of the AOB finder, and it also includes a slightly modified manual, klh's version2 of the attack disk handbook and my own guide to using passive sonar and the attack disk and sliderule to make an effective approach in bad weather.

It's at the filefront

NOTE: If you already have 1.3, the patch is all you need. Watch for whether you need the GWX version or not.

If you don't have 1.3, then you may download 1.3.1 and then you do not need the patch.
