-at 1.5x zoom: (mast height in meters x 100) / horizontal bars

-at 6x zoom: (mast height in meters x 400) / horizontal bars

In version 1.3, there is no longer a difference between observation and attack scopes. Each "horizontal bar" equals 10 mils. for example, if a Liberty Ship is 4 bars high at 6x, the range is 27.2x400/4=2,720 meters.

This works with both the stock game and TDW's UI.

Thanks, that good to hear that the mast is always the point of aim, i am as you suggested using the same scope mod and resolution, thus its good to hear from others who have tested!

How can you confirm that 100 and 400 is the correct reading? certainly i can be sure of my visual v Map check was accurate and that told me this was about 250m out.

Is it just by use you suggest the above values?
