Is this actually possible? I haven't loaded up NYGM 2.2 yet (still out on patrol with my old GW 1.0+ install), so I hadn't realized that they eliminated the ability to ask your WO for the range. I have thought (as they apparently did) that it was kinda silly that the WO could seem to give rather precise ranges of ships 10,000m+ way, so I have basically been using the WO's responses to let me know if the target was closing or receding (which I figured that he should be able to tell, whether or not his range numbers were actually correct). It didn't occur to me that there might be a "margin of error" parameter at work in the stock game that might be able to be modded to give a more realistic role for the WO's range reports.

Does anybody know if there is such a parameter and whether you can tweak it?

Probably hard coded... it's behaviour is not of a random error introduced into the range reading, but rather of a "rounding off" of the range number. For example, if the target is 145 meters away, the watch officer will say 100 meters. If it's at 85, hil still say it's 100 meters... In esence, if the guy says that the range is X meters, it might actualy be anywhere in the interval (X-50, X+50].

Pardon the thread necromancy, but don1reed, if you're still around can you check out this thread regarding using the in game map as a maneuvering board? I'm getting an entirely different result when testing your scenario with Mobo plus your graphic is no longer posted so I'm not sure if I'm replicating your steps properly.

Hi jmr,

I'm still around but no longer play SH3. My computer will not load SH3, luckily I remain in business with SH4 and it's Uboat Mod.

I'm still trying to repent the error of my ways regarding this post. It was made, unfortunately, before I became aware of Aaronblood's MOBO, which is the best of the best, IMHO.

My errors became manifest when I discovered that my F5 screen was setup on Imperial and my nomograph was/is in metric...for starters :wah:

So...my advice...get a copy of Aaronblood's MOBO and be done with it. :up:
