Stadimeter

[Kumando]

Is the stadimeter displayed in SH3 historically accurate? I saw in Sh4 threads that the scope view divides in two and i also heard that this is the way real stadimeters work in reality. So anyone knows if the german stadimeter in WW2 was like Sh3 in reality?

[Sailor Steve]

The advanced Germans used a scope that looks very much like the ones in SH3. Range was determined by measuring the length of the ship against the markings on the scope.

The backwards Americans used a split-screen rangefinder. Once the two images were lined up you would look at the stadimeter and it would tell you the range.

So the line that goes up and down to the top mast is pure fantasy right mate?

As far as I know it's there just to make it easier in the game, just like the 'Lock' button. I could be wrong, of course.
