Well they certainly changed the high range periscope FOV BUT they went too far the other way this time.

The Iowa is 270M long and has a mast height of 46M.
Real 8 Deg FOV scope to see the Iowa fill the entire screen would require a range of
135M/Tan 4 Deg = 1,930M .

The data from the Patch 1.01 Iowa test:

Note the Iowa in SH4 fills the 6X attack scope at approx 1,680M.(see attached screen shot)

Also note that the TDC via the stadiometer provides us a range of 1,406M.(see attached screen shot)

So that attack periscope markers on 6X and its associated FOV work off 0.29 Deg per graticule marker for its 9.3 Deg of view.

Now the same test in 1.02 provides:

Note the Iowa in SH4 fills the 6X attack scope at approx 2,850M

Also note that the TDC via the stadiometer provides us a range of 2,450M

So that attack periscope markers on 6X and its associated FOV work off 0.17 Deg per graticule marker for its 5.5 Deg of view.

1.01 shows a TDC to real range variance of 19% less and 1.02 shows 16% less.

Still ballparking around the same 17% mark as before now its just blown past in the other direction.

Problem hasnt changed its just been moved in the opposite direction.

EDIT : We now have approx a 9.7X Magnification attack scope. (Should be 6X)

Hopefully everything I typed makes coherent sense as Im still awake at midday after doing night shift.
