More Accurate Periscope Sights - WIDE

In 1 collection by DarkRaven

Description
Calibrated to my bearing marker mod (not required) and DECAFBAD's Stadimeter mrad mod (also not required). Has a milliradian vertical scale and a degree horizontal scale.

Compatible with both Periscope Modes. Keeps, but relabels, the magnification levels for each mode.

Savegame compatible. Compatible for versions 2025.1+. May be incompatible with previous versions.

Information on markings:

"/17.45°" refers to the conversion of milliradian to degrees. Useful for the aspect ratio AOB method.

A giant heaping thank you to Tofof (Workshop: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/tofof/myworkshopfiles/?appid=494840) for figuring out a workaround to the dim bearing illumination.

@Alec Paen Sorry for the late response, Steam didn't notify me of your June 28th message. This mod only affects the periscopes and I don't recall what the vanilla values for the UZO and binos are, sorry.

@Wolf Unless something has changed, that should be correct, yes.

Hi! I just came back to play after a year or so, do I read right, that previous zoom level from 2.67 has been changed to 2.5? It tells me as well in the UI. 1x / 2.5x and 10x.

So I should use 2.5 in the range calculation instead of the old 2.67, right?

I figured out the periscopes, now I wonder what the magnification of the UZO and binoculars is with the realistic setting enabled? Or does this mod not affect them?

Thank you :)

It's important to note that the mrad should be counted from where the waterline of the ship is in the ID book, not it's actual waterline, as it can be high or low in the water.

@Alex Paen (ljekio) Yes, it should be calculate out to ~ ( mast height / mrad ) x magnification in km, where magnification on Realistic is 1 for 1.5x and 4 for 6x. For meters, it would be 1000 and 4000 respectively.

Calculating distance in meters, of course

@Alex Paen (ljekio) The formula for calculating what exactly?
Alex Paen (ljekio) 23 Jun @ 5:00am 
please tell me the correct formula for calculating for realistic periscope magnification settings (1.5x and 6x). i think it *1000 and *4000 - its correct? thanks

@lock1nout It's not a mod setting, it's a game setting. IIRC for an existing save you go to Menu -> Settings -> Periscope Magnification. You may have to unlock the settings to be able to change it, forfeiting the 90+% realism achievement. Alternatively, you can choose it when starting a new game.
