From the screenshots, it seems to be at least 1.3. In that case, the only explanation is that the mast heights are wrong (as the stadimeter module is working correctly now).
Is the range wrong for ALL the ships in the recognition manual?

I have the 1.4 patch. Yes, I know you made improvements with the 1.3 patch to the calculations and some of the ship mast heights. The Hiryu having a 20 meter mast height at the beginning was a real zinger. After 1.3 you improved it to the 31 meter height but it still isn't correct as the first post in this thread shows. The correct height when the ship is sitting at approximately a 1500 yard (1378m) distance is 36.4 meters. You need another 5.4 meters to add.
No maerean, not all ships are off, for instance the stock Sub chaser has a mast height of 18 meters, at the 1500 yard distance the actual stadimeter found range is only 6 yards off. That's quite good for that distance. Actually from what I can tell, if you can get to within 10 or so yards (plus or minus) of the computer found range to target that's about as good as the calculations will allow.
I'd say over half of the Japanese and merchants could have their mast heights tweaked to correct the kind of inaccuracy I'm talking about.
