I sure hope that its not a lost cause, if so manual targeting goes out the window for SH5. And if manual targeting is out, SH5 is out.
My whole mod is based around getting SH5 to be playable in Maunal Targeting only, hence the RAOBF's ets and if lenghts and heights are all wrong then it just makes a mess of everything.

A bit late to this discussion, but wanted to add my experience. After Arclight had released his "More Realistic Periscope 1.3" mod last year, I spent a lot of time manually calculating ranges using the mast heights in Reaper7's "Recognition manual v 1.02". I can confirm that the mast height info was accurate enough to manually target and regularly hit ships out to around 3,000 meters in the PQ-17 mission. Manual Targeting is very doable in game.

second, is the info in Magnum's and Reaper7's RecManual the same? or does Magnum's have the more up to date info?
