@Shinpuren: Please refer to some reliable source. If you are right, i am very thankful for that correction. But honestly, it wouldnt make sense to just illuminate the lines. Anyway, im curious what you have found out!

Check the discord, I have posted more data there.

@Urfish

You do not even specify in your mod description "what periscope" you are using as reference.
The URL I have linked is accurate and uses original documents and scientific reports.

There were multiple attack and night periscopes and they all had different graticules. It is very likely that you either saw a simplified duplicate for educational purposes (museum, etc) or you saw a different type of periscope.

The IIA and the VII had different attack periscopes and some VII were later equipped with "post-war" periscopes such as the ASR C/3 or the ASR/6.


Btw, the website is from one of the former UBOAT game developers who sadly died a few months ago...

I am very sure the website is correct.

@Shinpuren the description seems based on a report from uboat.net . It is not fully correct on this page. I saw construction plans for this, it was all on a single glass plate. So when illuminated, also the numbers where.

I also hope that a version updated for 2024.1 will be available soon. Really need illuminated graticule!

Hi there, any news regarding the update on 2024.1?
Shinpuren 25 Aug, 2024 @ 6:38am 
It's incorrect to call this "realistic".

There is plenty of material about the StaS C/2 and other German periscopes.
The graticules in the periscope were illuminated, but the numbers were not.

for real periscope description.

Will this mod be compatible with the current release 2024? It's the best sights mod imo
