A simple conversion could be made for the ship length in feet (I am a metric type of guy myself). The advantage of this formula is that it is range independent and works pretty good for AoB under 45.
This looks like it's the same idea except I put it in table format. I'm going to change this to a sliding ruler/circular chart thingy. It looks likes that formula gives an approximate reading, where as I'm looking for 'pinpoint' accuracy .
This is been geared for RFB where where you hit a ship matters.
