This is good news.

I read in one of the earier threads that the conversion meter - yard went wrong and when using imperial you had to put the stadimeters ghost image waterline about 10% lower than the masttop.
In fact it's hard to do. I mean 10% in a combat situation is guestimating at best and firing torpedoes on a guestimated solution is the result. I don't know how others did this, I figured that if I tried over and over again I will eventually get the hang of it. Indeed I've tried over and over again, and being real close gave me a lot of hits, but it wasn't all that succesfull at ranges of more than say 1000 yds.

I certainly will try this mod with the instructions you provided so maybe I'll get a torpedoe hit at 1500 yds or more.

Thanks for sharing all this work. Must have been some hours.....

Regards,

Bando
