how to use the markings in the historical attack periscope? There are 4 dividing hashmarks on one side of the 10 marker, and 3 on the other. I figure that you're the best person to ask, and that this is maybe a good place to ask you, since you'll probably have it in your GUI!

My research so far indicates that those marks frequently seen in flims of that era are probably FAKE for film purposes. Real, trustworthy pictures through periscopes or descriptions of reticles show a very different pattern.
But if that reticle you are referring to was reallly used, the best explanation I can find is that one part of the reticle was divided in grades (The one with 3 marks) and the other in milliradians (The one with 4 marks), allowing different uses.
With a milliradian reticle, like the one included in my previous mod, or in the incoming one, the formula to get range is:
Target heigth / Scale x 1000 = Range
