Periscope Markings in GWX2?

[Platapus]

Does anyone know (really know) what the degree relationships to the periscope/UZO markings are?

In stock they are

Periscope 1.5X 1 and 5 degree
Periscope 4x .25 and 1.25 degrees

UZO 7x .2 and 1 degree

In running 1.4 with GWX2 and Commander, my periscope is

1.5x (which I can assume is the same as stock)
10x Dese be the numbers I need!

The UZO only has vertical scale

Hi!

You can actually figure this out for yourself! Just use manual targeting mode (without the help of the weapons officer) and read off the number of degrees covered by 10 tic marks; divide by 10 to get the angle of one tic mark.

Hope this helps!

==========

Periscope views:

Observation Scope @ low magnification: 10 marks = 10 degrees, so 1 mark = 1.0 degree



Observation Scope @ high magnification: 10 marks = 2.2 degrees, so 1 degree = 0.22 degrees



Attack Scope @ low magnification: 10 marks = 10 degrees, so 1 mark = 1.0 degree



Attack Scope @ high magnification: 10 marks = 1.5 degrees, so 1 mark = 0.15 degrees

UZO view:

UZO (only one magnification): 10 marks = 1.4 degrees, so 1 mark = 0.14 degrees

Thanks , those were the numbers I was coming up with, So it is safe to assume that the vertical scale is the same as the horizontal scale at the same magnification?

In my case, I am more interested in the horizontal scale for AoB calculations

Hi!

You'd think that would be the case, but I don't know how tightly the game engine ties the on-screen image and apparent size of an object to the range and torpedo targeting; your best bet is probably to set up a mission with a stationary ship at a 30 degrees, 45 degrees, and 60 degrees AOB and see if the bow-to-stern angular measurements work out as the trigonometry suggests it should.

Yup, that is exactly what I plan on doin
