Do you know where we can find the lenght or ratio for military ships ? I've the single version of the game and it's not indicated.
Hmmm I have the collector's edition manual so that's never been an issue for me, but I think the ship length fix posted by Krupp lists the real in-game length. Anyway, I think you also can read it in the files of the ships, inside the Data/Sea folder.

EDIT to add: There is also a PDF recognition manual available in the mods forum which I believe gives the lengths also.

what is the source of the ruler (sinus scale) at the bottom of page 3?
Errr well it is exactly that, simply a sinus scale. Any template/plan for a decent slide ruler you can google around will probably give you that sinus scale in detail. Take a look at the various threads around here for slide rule targeting and the IS-WAS thread, I think there are some links inside.

If you build the IS-WAS I posted the plan for, you have a sinus scale in the rear side of it, simply aligning 90º in the "bearings" middle circle with 1000 yards in the ouside circle will give you the equivalencies. Take "yards" as percentage, and "bearing" as AOB angle, it's direct read
