gentlemen, pato's image is deadly acurate in EVERY zoom level ! in fact, more acurate CAN'T be ! it is working in EVERY ZOOM LEVEL ! all you have to do is to change miles to meters.
for example ,you see a ship at 1200 in pato's scale then the deadly acurate distance to target(in meters) is 1200x1.55=1860m...so simple!
you see it at 1250 in pato's scale then the deadly acurate distance to target(in meters) is 1250x1.55=1937.5m
you see a ship at 3000 (in pato's) then distance (in meters) is 3000x1.55=4650m

I just installed Pato's brg overlay and noticed the same discrepancy. Gott in himmel, why would he put it in miles? And not even the correct conversion for statute or nautical miles. That being said, I would prefer to work in NM, but I guess that's not the way the crazy Germans did things. ;)
