SH3's Binocular zoom and periscopes and others

TheDarkWraith · 10-20-07, 05:54 PM

I have discovered how to add/change/modify zoom levels and was wondering if the binocular on the real german subs was variable power or not? If so, what was the power range of them? Were they different for each sub?
I'm hoping the power range was variable because it's time to implement this!
How about the scopes? Did they only have two power settings? Or did they have more than 2?
Deck gun....what should the zoom levels be for this? And the AA guns?

I believe the German Periscopes (attack scopes) were variable from 1x to 6x optical zoom.

I recall reading somewhere that, In game, 10x is modelled in the attack scope to make up for the drawbacks of computer monitors and clarity vs. the human eye and real-life conditions.

The best WWII German binoculars (i.e. the captains pair) were 10x optical zoom IIRC.

Yes IIRC the 10x zoom was added in TGW from the stock 6x to compensate for the fact tis played on a PC and not using Mk1 eyeballs in RL

Only the attack scope was variable power from x1 to x6? How about the obs scope? Did it switch between just two zoom levels or was it variable also?
Results so far are very positive. Variable power can be modeled for the attack, obs scope, and binoculars. There is one little bug currently but I'm sure I'll find a way to fix it...

I think the observation scope wax 1x to 4x in RL but had a much wider viewing area as seen thru the scope.

I would think that the obs periscope had more of a viewing than just 1-6..but thats just me...I would like to see the eyes on the person im about to add to the chum

@ Racerboy: These questions can be answered by Hitman; he really know

. Is it possible improve deck gun' gunsight? SH1 style was great!
Cheers!
