Stabilize view

_Seth_ · 10-30-06, 08:41 AM

I've noticed that the stabilize view only affect the periscopes. Is there a way to make it affect the UZO and binoculars too. Its just so unrealistic to see your periscope view bob up and down, while the binocular and UZO views are "welded" to the horizon. ?

IIRC, the UZO was designed not to be affected by the rolling and pitching of the boat. The binoculars on the otherhand should certainly not be locked to the horizon.

Was there some kind of gyro on the uboats in wwII to control the gyro during rolling and pitching?

No.

If anything was stabilized, it had to be done with weights, which is not a solution. The first ships to use gyroscopic stabilization on the firing systems were US battleships, and those not until 1945.
