[WIP] Alternative recon manual

I like very much the concept, and the tabs dividing categories are most useful :up:

For warships I would leave just one per page, including "photographs" below the silhouette, and in the silhouette you could highlight with a red circle the most important characteristic of the ship which differentiates it from others, as is done in the real Weyer's Taschenbuch :yep:

Finally, if you could find a way to allow direct setting of the mast heigth in the stadimeter like the US boats interface currently allows, that would be the perfect complement :D

P.S. I forgot:

The Weyer's Taschenbuch has detailed info per ship divided by countries, and then also a set of tables with very small silhouettes ordered by ship class -all countries mixed together- so as to quickly identify first the ship and then get teh details.

Hi Mikhayl
Found you. The bookmarker tags will help greatly in ease of use, it's starting to come together.

If possible make it so one can identify the ships here and not in the small booklet now.

Nice:up:

But I wil delete the warships directly:rotfl:

I have never seen a bigger warship than a DD...

When I see one I will guess the high;)

printable¿
 
is it possible to make a printable version???

I dont know if you recall the kplt handbook for sh2.... it printed as a booklet and had a lot of info...

I dont know if I have the pdf somewhere but it was cool :hmm:

This is the German sil, as you can see there's hell of a lot of measurements, I have placed the numbers were it wouldn't clutter things up, theirs are underneath the line. In addition the rest of the info is under the sil.

It looks good but measuring the distance between the masts of ~200 ships would be kind of a pain :D
I knew you'd say that. I might put a couple of important ones in.

Slowly one by one it can be done. It's sure worth it :up:

But more important would be in my opinion the heigth measure at various points (Funnel, bridge, kingpost....) :hmm:

badwolf 07-20-08 03:08 PM

The horizontal length measurements are at the same height of what their measuring. There looks to be 3 or 4 parallel measurements going across the ship and at the end is the height of each line. What I showed in the diagram is a simple demonstration.

I would say: ''Kutter''(=pl.) , ''Erzfrachter''(=pl.), ''Frachtschiff''(pl.: Frachtschiffe) and ''Mischgut Frachter''(=pl.)

But I am not sure. Better take this than the english names:rotfl: When you find another solution, take this one then.

Xantrokoles 07-21-08 06:02 AM

Yes, yes,
Just for you.

The translations suck, also I think I'll try to rework all the silhouettes (only converted 31 so far) so that they will all have the same scale.
I'll get back to it once my eyes recover their natural shape
LOL well german is a language with declinations, so definitely there's something wrong when the same gender (Masculine) word like "Schiff" gets a different ending in the adjective "Gross" and "Mittler" despite being both the same case (Nominative) :lol:

But jokes aside the manual looks superb :up: Looking forward to have it in the game :D

I knew it wasn't right but I have no idea what's correct
But good idea anyway to put one with each ending, so you have a 50% right. Reminds me of my days back at school exams :rotfl:

Quote:

I will use one different scale for each category, but when you compare ships on the same tab you'll have a real idea of the size.
Yes, would have suggested that myself :up: :up: :up:

Xantrokoles 07-21-08 08:53 AM

Before you release it, you can give it me...
I can't translate english to German perfectly, but I see wether you written endings wrong:up:

(BTW: ÖÖÖÖööööö ÄÄÄÄäää , you can't do that:rotfl: )
