SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - [REL] My tutorial for 100% realism manual targeting

I see a problem :

In your example mast height is 66 Feet.

TDC Stadiometer range = 547 Yards.

Each Graticule marker is 0.25 Deg (Supposed to be that is)

Mast height = 7 Markers high.

7*0.25 Deg = 1.75 Deg.

Range = 66 Feet /Tan 1.75 Deg = 2,160 Feet. which = 720 Yards.

If you look at your game map thats how far your sub WILL be from the target .

Check it I will be interested to see what you find.

EDIT: To get a range of 1641 feet (547 Yards) out of a mast height of 66 feet

Would require a Graticule angle per marker of approx 0.33 Deg on the high range attack scope.

Or in your example 7*0.33 Deg = 2.31 Deg mast angle.
