I was not calling you a 'boy', in the English language using 'boy' at the start of a sentence is commonly used as a way of adding emphasis to the whole sentence. It is like saying Gosh, Wow, My God, or Damn, or a host of others. I guess I should have used one of them...it was not intended to be an insult.---ok Kafka , i am sorry too ..case closed

Those articles that you seem to be dismissing as not 'expert' are documents from the Operations Evaluation Group Report No. 51 of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations of the United States Navy. Are you telling me that you are more 'expert' than them? --- i said exactly the opposite but thats ok too

"Apples and Oranges" is a shortened version of the English phrase "It is like comparing apples and oranges", both are fruit but which one tastes better, and where the answer is "it does not matter". I guess you are not familiar with the phrase. My apologies again.---no need for apologies ,i just explained where i found the '31' km (as you saw it was not my 'imagination' ) and i did it (the explaination) becuase you asked for it and it was against 'your' '29.1km' and not against your 'bino' knowledge. i told you just this and nothing more than this: the 29.1 was found by geometrical formulas (the calculator you posted is using these formulas) and the '31km' is more correct value becuase it uses formulas that taking in account the atmospheric refraction.
i read this phrase at wikipedia : ''Results (from the spoken formulas) are sufficiently accurate for many purposes.''


So, by your reasoning, I should be able to see the Empire State Building from 50 miles away (you can) and with the naked eye be able to count the windows as well (you can't). There are things like atmospheric turbulence and human eye resolution that you have ignored, and the wikipedia article does too.---i repeat again here that i am not 'expert' on real situtations so i can't say what (how far) you can see from Kriegsmarine binos and thats why i 'need' the experts to give us some real ranges so i can't continue this further (my knowledge stops here) and thats why i asked you to give us an average copromise max visual range for clear day

I am not going to talk about the mod. Nor do I wish to make any suggestions. --- so , continue this conversation here will be just off topic. PM me if you like to tell me something more on this

If they were using nautical miles they would have said 'nautical miles' and their diagrams would be using the abbreviation NM instead of MI, so I think you should check one more time.---thats really very 'strange' for me. they talk for miles on sea and they are using the international mile ? i can't say anything more...it is just 'strange',thats it what i was thinking as i was glancing to the link

I see, others can post assumptions regarding the mod, but I can't post facts that you can use in the mod.

Are you implying that my initial post here is not 'high level' and that I am an 'attacker'? ---no, it was not for you and i don't believe that you are 'attacking' the thread .

I'm through discussing this.
look above ,
bye
