Explain that again, please? What does "exit cam view" mean?

Correct, but range could be visually estimated fairly accurately by a man standing on the bridge of a U-boat (up to a certain distance). To get the range in the OLC GUI UZO just multiply the UZO mark by the mast height. The marks did not exist on the real UZO; they exist in OLC GUI only as a way of "simulating" the ability to estimate the range in real life.
