Hi Jimbuna..me too!

Hitman,

excellent, although if you will permit me this small quantum of pedantry, i think you have the names of Telemeter and Tachymeter/Tacheometer swapped around.

The scale from the Civil war artillery chrono does match the Hanhart telemeter scale, after adjusting miles for kilometers. Besides you can calculate it since you can see that 3.4 km matches 10 seconds, and as we all know the speed of sound in air is 343.14m/s at 20 degrees C.

thanks for providing the use - i'd forgotten about deckguns, and also thanks for explaining the use of timed torpedo runs - you know it was never something i'd really thought of as important information, i guess i should.

Finally, does SH4/3 take into account the distance and speed of sound with artillery explosions
