Default What game resolution do you use?

Please make a selection above in the poll question.

I'm working on a project and have come across a problem within the stock game structure that effects game play and my intended modification. I'm wondering what game resolution you have set in the Graphic Options menu?

The reason I'm asking can be found in the following images from a stock game set at two different resolutions 1024x768 and 1280x1024.

Here's the 1024 x768 showing a ship at 1000 yards distance and the stock periscope telemeter marks showing the length at 22 and 3/4 marks (nearly 23).






Here's the same ship, same distance, at the 1280x1024 resolution.





My problem is this, the game uses the same stock "periscope mask" for the two different resolutions. But more importantly, the different game resolutions create different results of the same sized periscope telemeter marks. I'm planning on correcting the accuracy of the telemeter markings to give accurate measurements of both height and length but this problem seems to create a need to have a corrected scope (camera settings) for each resolution you use! So a poll may help in working toward the resolution most used by the community.

This morning I started a poll thread on the "SH4 Mods Workshop" forum with a limited listing of game resolutions. I've quickly found out many respondents use resolutions greater than the ones I listed. With this thread I'm using a greater number of choices to make a better account of the question.

Thanks in advance
