As a first order approximation this formula should work for long distances. But in close quarters the formula might break down. Again, where it stops being usefull is something to be tested in the game.

Just an update, I found where I read the x345 formula for calculating range!
From
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=159346
"3) Range can also be calculated without the AOB-Tool by using the simple formula
Range = (Mastheight x 345) / Marks
where Mastheight is the ship's mastheight according to the Recognition Manual,
and Marks is the number of vertical Marks the ship spans across.
This formula is only valid for the UZO and both Periscopes with 6x zoom,
and the formula is of course only valid for ACM-GUI Reloaded."
