Actually it's the two combined. OLC/Joegrundman had to resort to a simple reticule style because the SH3 engine doesn't support dual image rendering. Sh4 does. But in the real german attack scopes those prism things could be rotated on it's side (90 degrees) to measure the appearant width, just like you do the height. Sh4 can't rotate them, or atleast the Americans didn't use it like that. To mimmic the AOB measurement OLC/Joegrundman also included a horizontal reticule scale to make it as realistically functional as possible. And by god they succeeded!
Also, because you see two of the same images moving up and down together in the attackscope it is easier for your eyes to track the difference. You don't need to worry about keeping the waterline in the same spot. So stabilised view option isn't such a bad idea in my opinion.
