Well, according to OLC and Hitman the real UZO didn't have the range measuring/AOB tools that the attack scope has. The UZO could only to provide bearing info, as there was nothing more than a vertical line in the optics. Or so they say. OLC made it as historical as possible. From what I understand course and speed were determined well in advance of firing through plotting etc. Only range is an unknown at firing time. But also not very important in an across-track shot. (90 degree to target track and almost zero gyro-angle)
But there is plenty of explanations from them in the long OLC mod threads (the current and an older one). I know it's alot to search through.
