Tater, to just quickly look at your figures, the ONI manual has the Okinoshima as a mast height of 107', my accurate distance of about 94 feet is pretty close to that. Whichever you use, it beats the measily 69 feet the game Recognition Manual reports.
I know you've done a lot of work on ship design and creation. I'm wondering if the ship.sim file/unit_ship/properties/mass changes the height of a ship as it's seen in the water? I'm just guessing it does, but I've never monkeyed with it to see what changes the ship makes. I have pushed the GC_height beyond normal and seen the unsettling results. Do you know what the FR_ratio parameter does? Just curious.
