Hi.
I was able to change optical properties of both periscopes in cameras.dat. I recommend setting Angular Angle to 70 for Attack scope (default was 60) and 72 for Observation Scope (default was 60).

Then "10" mark is on attack scope equals to 5,7degrees which is 100 mills at 1,5 zoom, and Angular Field of View is near 38 degrees for 1,5 zoom and 9 for 6x zoom as historically correct.

This way you can use graticule to measure the distance using simple maths
for 1,5 zoom Distance=Height x 1000/number of mills, where "10" means 100 mills and graticule step is 20 mills (5 divisions for 100 mills)
for 6x zoom the distance is 4 times the distance for 1,5 zoom.

or use Hitman tables.

For Attack Scope, RAOBF works good. For operating it you don't count mills but tick marks, as normally.

HOWEVER
can you help mi with this: as I changed Angular FOV in cameras.dat I see now both stock graticule scaled in degrees and Ahnenerbe's gratucule scaled in mills on the same scope. How to get rid of one of them? Can it be caused by using M.E.P. v6 and MEP optical sensors for GWX in connection to Ahnenerbe's WideGUI?
