First of all: thank you for taking your time...

As far as i understood, the aspect ratio patch has a influence on the Zoom factor of the periscope, and therefore the ships in my periscope appear bigger than they should. This makes using the RAOBF inaccurate. If i try to measure the first freighter in the Tutorial I always get bigger readouts than the tutorial.

Ex: Hog Island Freighter on Bearing 221
The Hog Island Freighter has a Mast height of 28.4m and is 1080m away, therefore the RAOBF Height readout should be 10.6 ?"Mills"? (counting the Lines on the RAOBF) but i get a readout of 12.4 instead...

So its just that the target in my periscope fills out more of my periscope space than it should....

And I'm pretty sure that the 16:9 is correct for my resolution of 2560x1440, as 2560/1440 = 1.777777777 → 16/9 = 1.777777777

So this should just work fine.

Just for the sake of testing I applied the 4:3 patch and tried a 4:3 resolution. Everything worked just fine, all the readouts were correct.
So i decided to test if I could see a difference between the stock (16:10) and the patch (16:9) settings. But I couldn't...

UPDATE:

I just found a old post reporting the same problem.... (Post to be found on page 42 of this thread)

I have tried to use the RAOBF but it is a total mess and it doesn´t work.

As you can see in this picture:


The ship was at 2050m but with RAOFB the measured was 1500. I followed the tutorials and i did everything ok.
