So I was practicing my targeting and I seem to be able to do fairly well with manual targeting in good weather. However in bad weather I seem to do a horrible job of measuring the range to my target. I was using the attack periscope to measure the range and I kept getting a range that was way off. Like 1600 Meters when it is actually about 900 meters.

I was using the weapons officer to determine how far off I was by making my own solution, then asking him for a firing solution and comparing the numbers so I had an idea of how far off I was.

Any tips for a good way to get the range to the target in bad weather?
