If you mean I use values that are plucked out of thin air, I do not. If you've read my "Discussion" portion of the Ship Centered, Accuracy Fix thread, I describe in detail how I derive the correct mast height. Are they out of a reference book I found somewhere? Hell no! I calibrate the known distance, to the correct mast height through a math equation. The problem is the game does not calculate true to life measurements with the Stadimeter. In other words three feet doesn't make a yard to the game, at least when it comes to using the Stadimeter for manually finding range. The game could be using furlong's, fathom's, or parsec's for measuring distance, but if it doesn't do it accurately a correct figure is useless to the solution.
If you mean I use values that have no relation to a real world measurement such as: There's no way the GrafSpee had a mast height of 37.9 meters!?!? Yep, your right.
BUT at 37.9 meters height the manually found range over a 1415 distance is darn close to what it should be.
