Neat! And surprise!!!! Height measurements on stacks and cabin tops sometimes. It would be interesting to see how accurate those measurements are. For instance, on the Taihosan Maru (aka "Small Modern Composite Freighter") there are two height measurements, the top of the stack and the crosstree of the crane that show 40'. But they are clearly by inspection two different heights above the water! Either one or both of those 40' measurements is wrong.
It reinforces my view that stadimeter readings should remain very inaccurate in order for the game to be accurate. It also shows that it is way too easy to identify ships in SH4. I would estimate our conventional targeting accuracy is too good by a factor of two. If you implement a mast height rectification mod, such as that by a modder I admire greatly, you make SH4 into an arcade game with no connection to reality.
