The UZO tick marks are a bit of a puzzle. Sometimes a factor of 7 seems to work, other times it's 7.5. 7.5 seems to give better results on more occations though so right now I'm assuming it's 7.5 or thereabout.

I also have the MaGui night attack marks which, when combined with the regular tick marks seem to average at a very good result.

EDIT:

I am compliling data for other ship parts as well for, hopefully, all ships in the game. For instance, the chimney height on a large tanker I have estimated to be about 6.2 meters from the top of the superstructure and 21 meters from the waterline. Another example is the medium C2 cargo, with an estimated chimney height above the waterline of 20.8 meters and the estimated height of the 1st tall mast from the bow, from the base of the mast to the top, to be 13.3 meters. The idea behind these non-waterline heights is that they will work no matter how heavy the ship is in the sea, the height of a mast or a chimney, from a non-waterline mark, will stay the same always.
