How do I use the hash marks in the binocular view to compensate for wind?

Is there a bit of math? Ie in tank battles, taking the AFVs known dimension x 1000 / the mils it occupied in your sights = a way to figure range.

If it's just guess work/ gut feeling stuff I'm screwed. I really like the game and want to keep as many options activated as I can.....but man, I suck at this specific point. I've seen posts and read stuff like "divide by 2 for every level of zoom." But what the hell does that mean?

Any rule of thumb like "use this basic formula for guns firing against high wind "...which I'm assuming would be impacted by range?

Any help would be appreciated.
