This SCAF 1.5 mod for Silent Hunter 4 changes the target ship’s manual range finding reference point from the mast, to a more central location. This change will provide a greater amount of accuracy between the sub and target by using structures that are easily seen andhave been calibrated for the Stadimeter. The new central positions may use the top of a ship’s funnel(s), carrier flight deck, top of flag, or other structure to provide this reference point. More importantly, these new positions were calibrated for accuracy with various ship headings and ranges. The changes will provide a needed correction to the stock game data. This correction is good for both metric and imperial game play.
Included within the mod are changes to the Recognition Manual, that have the new reference point marked on the ship with a red pencil. Plus changes to some of the ships pictures for easier identification such as, adding or subtracting guns or funnels as the particular ship is actually displayed. Enlarging and changing the compass, telegraph, and depth dials for easier reading. Adding a Nomograph to the Map page for easier speed finding. Including an optional Metric Nomograph to the download, plus the optional MaxOptics 3 modification that changes the magnification of both periscopes, binocular, and deck gun views, to aid in ship identification and targeting. The U.S. Medals Fix II has also been included with all editions released after March, 2009.

I just discovered this game a few days ago. In that time i discovered the range issue after setting up a near perfect convoy ambush and having to do the encounter over and over cause i could not land the first hits. It took me a while to figure out that the ranges were off substantially on the Large Modern Composite Freighter. I had noticed that the ship had two mastheads of equal height (from the recognition manual and the stadimeter) but the question then became: from the 30-45 deg port side AOB do i measure the the bow masthead or the stern? I think (hope)this may fix the issue. I also noticed the medal awards were just plain goofy. So, CapnScurvy, hats off to you and here's a lime to help you out.
I will post on this thread again to give feedback on how it works out. 8)
