Ship lengths displayed in that user chart might be the historical ones. Not always ship models in game reflect those legths. The lengths displayed in stock ship recognition manual were also wrong. ToniloCoyote released a mod to correct this problem (see the following thread for more details: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...=179718&page=3). The latter mod was included in most UI/mega mods, including Sober's one. In other words, in a full modded game, always refer to Ship Recognition / Ship Of All Nations manuals for correct in game ship lengths.

Hey gap....always wondered why the Recognition Manual was called the "SOAN"

I hope that "salt" bug is starting to bite! The "old" SH5 mainstays and their wisdom are surely missed in this forum!

Best Regards......Kev

Please note that the SOAN and the Ship Recognition Manual are not the same thing. TDW's UI mod (and all the megamods based on it) features both the ERM (Enhanced Recognition Manual) by reaper7, which is an evolution of the stock recognition manual, and the SOAN, which is a further improved recognition manual containing extra data. As far as ship dimensions are concerned, both manuals display the same sets of data.

Refer to the lengths displayed in the bottom manual (in the screenshot displayed in post #1)
