Let's remember that SH world is not nearly a sphere, but a planar projection of the globe. 1 deg of SH longitude at the Pole is as long as 1 deg of longitude at the Equator (i.e. exactly 120 km), whereas in real world they would have been respectively 0 and 111.320 km.
Unless patrolling the South Atlantic or the Indian Ocean near the Equator, SH5 distances are greatly exaggerated and some compromise settings, rather than real figures, should be set
