If you have map contacts on, you really don't need it.

maillemaker, if you are using the Hitman's Optics mod, you don't have a stadimeter. Only prewar boats had them, and Hitman removed it from his mod. When using Hitman's Optics, the graticle is a very good aid to estimating range and AoB. It's quick, it's more accurate than the rectal housing group method, and you only need a generic ID (big tanker, small cargo) to use it effectively. Check Hitman's documentation that comes with the mod. It takes an hour or so of practice to get proficient, but it's way better for AoB. (Unless, of course, you are playing with map contacts on, in which case you can just read AoB off the plot.)
