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?
You can find that formula discussed in the original Arclight MRP thread (at p. 4-5).

When I reinstalled the game recently, I measured the range as calculated with the formula against the range as measured on the map, with map updates on, to confirm that the range reading was correct.

In my last campaign patrol w. map updates off, 100% realism, using that formula, I hit and sank 3 out of 3 ships, range 1200-1500 meters, target speeds 11-16 knots, w. 8 out of 9 eels hitting their targets.
