SCAF was basically a pre-cursor to OTC, with OTC being a full-blown fix for accurate targeting. What FotRSU does have though, is all of CapnScurvy's optics from OTC, so what you see on the bridge, in the binoculars and in the periscopes, are all relatively accurate renderings of what you should see. They are all "balanced", in other words, such that they will look the same at 1000 yards in any view you might choose. Compare his imaging in the OTC release thread for the mod with what FotRSU has, and you will see that he brought all of that into FotRSU. It was going to be in his "Day of Infamy" mod (a lot of his pix are lost to PhotoBucket), but brought all of that with him when he joined the team, including the Kamikaze and Okha suicide bombers that a player can be rudely introduced to in late 1944 if you are not careful from Luzon Straits on north, or anywhere near an airbase. We keep hoping that CapnScurvy will one day take a "short" break from his automobile restoration project (maybe when it gets too hot outside this summer hint-hint) and make an FotRSU-compatible OTC, and maybe even an in-between mod with at least his range input wheel and ship length added to the RecMan, but that for now, is his baby. There are too many aspects of the mod yet to do that are "basic" for what the vision for this mod originally was, to attempt to make an FotRSU version of his mod, even if we did have his permission, which I'm certain he would grant. For now though, we're thankful for what we do have of CapnScurvy's modifications, which just makes FotRSU that much more "Ultimate".
