Some of their pictures come directly from SHIII.....so the RM is in all kinds of different looking configurations.


When I get around to it, I'll be looking at the ship measurements and redoing the RM to suit my idea of what an RM should look like. I've actually had a plan for some time to put measurements onto the RM ship pictures to coincide with the ability to use the Stadimeter to "pick" a spot on the target to get a measurement from....not just the mast. You'd have a dial to "set" the spots height figure, then take a reading from that spot, giving you a reasonably accurate Range to target. I know there are some measurements that aren't even close to providing an accurate measurement of Range if your using Manual Targeting, so a "make over" is needed for more than one reason.

Thanks again, Capn. As a long time OTC player I am more than willing to wait patiently for your efforts to improve the recognition manual.


Excellent work, guys!
