Suggestion: True Bearing Shown At UZO

Suggest building a true bearing counter into the UZO. This would be a proxy for the “Peildiopter”. That was a small optic that was placed over the bridge compass to enable true bearings to be taken, and it was typically brought up to the bridge when stalking a convoy. True bearings are vital when plotting or matching. With the lower light transmission now in the attack periscope, we need another means to obtain true bearings at night, especially in rougher seas.

I love the effects of the new water on the boat by the way, especially the direction of the sea, has a very nice feel to it!
