UZO

"Seems the UZO view doesn´t scale to the resolution when not using 1024x768."

"I used the UZO..."

"UZO"

"UZO"

"UZO!!!"

For the love of all that's holy please stop call'n it an UZO. The UZO was on German U-boats durring the war. On a US sub it's called a TBT (Target Bearing Transmiter). Please read page 64 of your SHIV manual for more information on this wonderful device. Other helpfull sources would include Thunder Below by Adm. E. Flucky and U.S. Submarines Through 1945 - An Illustrated Design History by N. Friedman.

You know, I was prepared to make the very same lecture when I saw the thread title in the forum

Not to be confused with Ouzo which is probably hard to find in the Pacific during the war anyway.

If it used the T key, and the weapons management (missing the ammo for your guns) was back on the I key. I think people would be more willing to use it. Hell even I was hammering T there for a while expecting it to the TBT, even though I was used to U in SH3.

Nah, UZO sounds so much cooler, a bit like UZI...

Calling a TBT an UZO is as dumb as playing SH4 in metric as a few seem to be doing.

I'm working on the theory that my weapons officer is a camera nut and he's previously popped over to 'Ze Fazerland' in 1939 for a bit of a quick spying session. Whilst there, he snaffled a UZO from a Kraut boat, then had it installed on my Yank boat.

Consequently, the U key takes me to the bridge TBT.

Seriously though, I do find it kind of odd that for no readily discernable reason, some of the common stations on SH3 and SH4 had their keys changed for SH4, but the TBT kept the UZO keymap's U key. The U key was sort of logical in SH3, but it's just damn silly to keep it there in SH4 and then change the bridge keys etc.

Still, how can you expect logic in the land where Dracula comes from?

Strange. In my job, that acronym means 'To Be Determined'.

Yeah, I took the time to learn the damn metric system in SHIII, the least the rest of you could do is learn the imperial system in SHIV!

I had that same thought. It's comforting to be back on my "home turf" in terms of measurements!

Not far wrong. The original British escort boats were called 'Torpedo-Boat Destroyers', since they were designed to protect the fleets from the small steam-powered torpedo boats, which were the biggest danger. The original TBDs were renamed 'Destroyers' in 1912.
