When "manual targeting" is used, this range is changed by either taking a sonar reading of the target and "sending" it to the PK, or using the Stadimeter and sending it's marked reference point to the PK. I know, your supposed to make a range estimate using the periscopes hash marks but in most cases these marks are again just for show. Many mods have changed the view size of either the scope themselves or the target "camera" image making the hash marks useless (if they were ever correct to begin with).
