Gah, I'm so tired of miscalculating the range!
I'm in front of a carrier task force heading for Java. The carriers are too close to prepare my solution, so I aim for the next best thing, a Maya heavy cruiser 8,000 feet away. I use the stadimeter, aiming at the highest point I can see, but my calculation vary each time by 2,000 + or -!
And since the task force is heading directly for me, I don't have a lot of leeway. I've been reloading my game 10 times to aim the best I can, with no avail.
