I just retested this whole issue out with lenght of ships rather then heights.
Test parameters:
Vs. a
Kiturin Maru that in the ONI manual is listed with a length of
427 ft. The Maru is listed with an
A, with indicates that its certain data. Im hoping the dev's made the ship from good drawings
Angular Length and Linier Lenght for this ship placed at 400 yards. is
((427ft. / 3) / 400 yards) * 57,3 = Angular Lenght (20,4°)
So the Kiturin Maru should fill
20,4° of vision.
In
x 1,5 scope (low power) that is
20,4 tick marks in total as each tick mark is 1 deg. In
x6 scope (high power) its
81,5 ticks in total as each tick here only represents 0,25 deg.
The ship was in mission editor placed at 366 meters (equal to 400 yards), 732 meters, 1098 meters 1464 meters and 6862meters away
The targets should fill the below amount of tickmarks in your high power zoom (x6 zoom) and in low power zoom (x1½ zoom)
High - Low
81,6 - 20,4 at 400 yards
40,8 - 10,2 at 800 yards
27,2 - 6,8 at 1200 yards
4,4 - 1,1 at 7500 yards
The formula to figure this out is the following:
(ship lenth in yards / Range in yards ) * 57,3 = Angle in degree's
In low zoom each tick is 1 deg.
In High Zoom each tick is 0,25 deg.
To me it looks as it should regarding ship lenths, so i was wrong in my first perception. Sorry for wasting your time gentlemen
