Good Lord man! Not a wonder the developers did not do all this work for separate resolutions! First of all it is a lot of work as you know. Second I would think people would get confused on what to load when the game installs. Looking forward to using your mod!

Yes, it was surprising to me when I found the game doesn't render the periscope or TBT screens the same size for use with manual targeting, depending on which resolution a gamer chose.

I think they knew that when the game was released. That's why such an error of the Hiryu set to 20 meters in mast height wasn't a big deal for them. Only manual targeting players were going to notice it, and if you used a different resolution compared to another, the screens were not going to be rendered equally anyway. I think there was an effort to make the game less problematic (changing many of the mast heights with their patches) but the resolution/aspect ratio differences were never addressed.

I agree 100% with that assessement sir! Going on vacation next week but I'm sure going to load this mod when I get back. I'm interested in working with it at the 2500-3000 range.
