Then you would have to add a tool like the Range Omnimeter to calculate the range to target when counting the telemeter divisions. Either that, or you get the ol' calculator out to figure the trig problem of changing height into distance when a particular angle is known.



But, that may be the easy part. I would think the deck gun camera may be effected by the differences in the particular game resolutions that the periscope and TBT views have. Depending on which resolution/aspect ratio your particular game computer uses will create a difference in scale for the deck gun view. In other words, one fix won't work for everyone. That's not a real big problem to make, but it just makes a fix all the harder to accept when a gamer has to think for himself "What fix do I need to use for the resolution my system uses?"

Their more likely to say "Forget it, I'll just pop a few caps and figure range by watching my shells fall short, or going too long!"

You seem to know how to do it, if you can do it, could you make it? It would help people with bad range estimation, and if you can't... well it's alright

Use UZO to find the range to target. Go to the deck gun staion and then hit the TAB key. The TAB key gives the range options. You can zoom in or out of the range, found by the UZO, with the up and down keys.

I do not know either, but I will try it out and see if it works, and if it does, I will let you know
