P.S: DrJones, may I suggest you to include this little mod of mine into your UI? I makes scope's reading much more accurate.
Wow...good work gap...yes that will work...do you have a link where i can download these images? I will put them in and will release soon a new test version...

If it is the first case then IMHO it is not worth to borrow with - the round button looks more accurate, do not "overload" players interface and makes it comfortable to manage with. And from the point of "historical immersion" both (button and desized handle) in the 'attack scope' (F3) interface seem no to be trouthfull anyway.

If it is the second one - then it is more the GR2 issue.
Oh don't worry about that...the idea is to make it much smaller and put it on the t lampentafel...this panel will substitute the tube selection panel in the top of the attack Uzo or obsscopes...After that i think about to show the bearing graticules like they habe been done in an interaface mod made by hitman...just dont have a screenshot..

Oh yes i think in the future we will have a release like that on every tube in the boat.

Just still wait for the time that in multiplay everybody play a member in the crew of the boot....just a dream

best Regards

Based on the document you posted here, the three of them should be historically accurate.

With respect Captain73!
Since SH3, I think, there has been a lot of discussion about the historicity of scope's reduced light transmission, even though many documents state openly that scopes (especially attack ones) were hardly used during cloudy or moonless nights, due to this problem.

I don't want to start a new debate here, but I've noticed that in SH5 there's no reason for using the obs scope or the UZO, unless we give them different luminosity values.

Even so, I am sure that many MaGui players won't like to look at their targets through dark, blurry lenses. All considered, I think that the best option will be making darkened scopes optional.

Here's a bigger preview of the darkened periscope masks, with logos added:



Sorry for the big size guys...

Gee, this is just great Gap

As for the logos I'd go for the Carl Zeiss

For the Attack Scope (far left one) you could lose the 'Carl Zeiss marking' at 9 o'clock.
The position for the logos I'm not sure of.

As always - stunning work!

So I should remove the previous 'Car Zeiss' label, on the left of the lens mounting? I am as well unsure that that one was the Zeiss trademark during 40's

Yes, I'm positive there was only the logo
Or am I mistaken?
Anyone?

At least we are sure that 'CARL ZEISS - JENA' logo is correct. What about the 'Carl Zeiss' labelling on the left of "stock" manos scopes?
