Yep, with manual targeting sonar readings will give you an accurate range. It's just not the best option for a prized warship with escorts lurking about. They seem to come calling in a trot with your first ping.

What I don't understand is why ship builders don't make an effort to give the player a reasonable estimate of height for the reference point for manual targeting. Although there is more than one way to estimate range (stadimeter, telemeter scope marks, sonar etc.) having bogus height measurement's just adds frustration to a player who already is overwhelmed with the tasks of manual targeting. Oh sure, the first thing they'll say is the "fog of war" is what my intent was, or this is "realism" as it should be. Well, "realism" is this very conversation (thread). A Captain goes out on patrol and encounters a ship that he knows his ID manual measurements are wrong. His torps miss badly and he gets away from the escorts by the skin of his teeth. When/if he gets back to base, his first trip to the "Officers Club" is to tell anyone he runs into, "don't use the ID manual measurements". "Try these figures instead" he will say, and any Captain still able to hold a pencil will write down the corrected measurements and change "his" ID manual, ready for the "next time". Now THAT'S realism!!

Getting back to finding manual range and particularly the telemeter scope marks. I've been working on a project to make them work as intended, giving accurate measurements at various zoom settings. Let's just say what stock has is "off" as much as the height figures of the Shoho. It's little wonder why no one uses the telemeter scale for anything but give the scope view some sense of legitimacy. As they are now, their just for "show".

Anyway, I did look at TMO 2.0 and the compatibility of SCAF with it, plus RSRDC v502. It should be an easy one. I just like to check out the "pairings" before releasing.
