So in short: no.
If you want to mess with Warsaw Pact weapons...go ahead... I'm just saying there is a way to calculate range to target with Mildots. I don't know if the game modeled it correctly...but it's doable in real life.

There's a website about Mildots and it has a user guide on how to use them. I'm gonna look at it closer tomorrow. Mildot User Guide

Everybody acts like an idiot sometimes. Hell, I do it all the time. It'll buff out.
