Can anyone help with some 'authentic' SH4 Uboat scope and UZO skins/mods.

Thanks

What exactly are you looking for?

I did some time ago a mod that places historically correct reticles in SH4 U-Boat scopes, it involved a new mask for the periscope_1024.dds graphic and a set of different values in the cameras.dat in order to move the old reticle out of the screen and enhance the field of view.

If you are interested in this, let me know and I'll upload them for you somewhere.

I'm completing my AOBWheel mod and would like to make sure that the UBoat scope scalings are correct, and change them if necessary.

The scope scale in SH3 is theoretically one degree per small mark, 5 degree per bigmark at low power. I have never done intensive tests to confirm that, but after creating my custom graticules (Which are based in a different proportion, as in real life happened -SH3/4 is wrong here) using those standard ones as a guide, I didn't notice wrong results.

Here are the new graticles I created:

Hitman: Will it be ok if I use these (slightly modified) with the AOBwheel thing ?

Sure, as stated in the readme do whatever you want with them mate,

essentially my policy is: Anything I do is free for the community to use as long as no $ profit is made from it

I just wish I could give you all a 1000th part back of what I have received
