I had a complete chart but lost it. I was in the process of making a new one when I got really busy at work and stopped. Let me see if I can find it at home.
Basically what I did what make a single mission with a non-moving enemy ship. I got lined up at 90° angle, so I perfectly bisected the ship with my bow. TDC was automatic so I could see the exact range. I started at about 3000m away.
Using the scale on the UZO, I measured the length of the ship at a number of distances between 2400m and 400m.
After this I changed the enemy ship in the mission, and started over.
I'm not sure what the scale is on the UZO, but I called it MILS because I was familiar with that term. Each unit on the UZO is probably 5 or 10 mils.
Anyway, the chart looked something like this.
Ship..................1200m.........600m
C2 Merchant........6mils...........12mils
C3 Merchant........7mils............14mils
So if I measure the length of a C2 merchant, and it takes up 12 units in the UZO, I know the ship is 600m away.
