I created a new MOD, with a single file (menu_1024_768.ini) using the appropriate folders/directories. The file contains the following change in the [G26 I140] section:

;ORIGINAL Zone= 212 732 475 100 0 1 0x26000002 0.5 1.8 0x26000004 -0.5 0.5 0 -60
Zone= 212 732 475 100 0 1 0x26000002 0.5 1.8 0x26000004 -0.5 0.5 0 -80

Basically changed the "-60" at the end to "-80". The single degree ticks are now visible in the Attack Periscope. I did not change the Observation Periscope on purpose so that I have a visual cue that I'm using the Obs instead of the Attack. I also did a few tests trying to estimate the distance and AOB using the Telemeter lines, ensuring my change did not alter the correction that OTC is meant to correct in the first place. I believe my results were close enough if not identical.

I also played around with the Crop setting of the section [G26 I143], where the Attackscope.tga is called out. My intention was to correct the problem by not cropping out the top and bottom parts of the scope, but I believe this attempt did alter the Telemeter lines, so I decided with the solution above.

If anyone is thinking "you dummy, you just messed up xxxxxx", please let me know, specially if its something obvious.

@CapnScurvy, I can only imagine the time you invested on making and testing the changes for OTC, specially for all the different resolution ratios you provided. THANK YOU!!
