Judging Range
 

Silent Hunter 5 - With WOS Mega Mod

I can't find the stadimeter.
But there should be a way to arrive at the range using a few calculations. It would be just a little more fun to determine the range by hand.

Can anyone explain a method for determining range using the graduations on the optics. They are all different. Are they all degrees? Or Mills. I found a video but the optics must be vanilla (1x power)


UZO Station 7x
Attack Periscope 1.5 x
Attack Periscope 6 x
Observation Periscope 1.5 x
Observations Periscope 6x
There are no graduations on the binoculars

All of these images are from the same distance using different views.

Thanks Sjizzel,

I looked all over for the button for the stadimeter. Appreciate the input. Perhaps I should review a more detailed reference (there must be lots of other things I'm missing).

I would still like to figure out how to use the graduations on the optics. If I know what the increments are I might be able to determine a formula. Are they Mils, degrees or just a nice visual addition.

Need help
 

Well thanks to Sjizzle I've located the Stadimeter button (above the range dial).

But I click on it and nothing happens. Is there more to know? Do I use some other keys after I click on the button?

Hope someone can help. Without range the calculations are tough.
