Ok, alright, I get it. But no, that is not what I was looking for. Here I'l give you an example:

You see it shows that the distance is 100 meters although the actual lenght is 50 meters. So what I want is a ruler which shows the EXACT correct values. I've had no moding experience with SH3 at all. But looking at all the wonderful mods you guys have made, adjusting ruler values wouldn't seem too hard to be done. Would it?

Ok, it might seem nitpicking to you. But here is why it is so important to me. I always like to get into a perfect position before launching torpedoes. That means 90 degree angle. To do that I MUST know the exact course of the target. Which means drawing a straight line connecting the 3:15 marks. But because I'm a noob and the ruler "problem" I often get false results which means I can't get a straight line... And that is a problem. Especially when my speed barely exceeds the enemy ship's speed. Which means I'll have to race him for quite a distance. (That would of course involve time compression.) That means I can easily lose the target if the course is not corect. Even 50 meters can make a huge difference in a long run.
