Thanks Markus
You were right enough I was using 2.64 rather than 2.62 on the D scale.
With regards to the periscope graticules you wouldn't happen to know which mods within SH3. SH4 and SH5 have the graticules set to the correct size and the value of the millirads at each zoom so that I can use the slide rule accurately. That would be a big help if you knew because after trying your examples with SH3 vanilla and SH3 greywolves expansion the periscope graticules don't appear to scaled properly as none of my calculations were working.
Other question with regards to finding a targets AOB how do read off values larger than 90 accurately on the slide rule ?
Again many thanks
