High Res and map distortion

Hi,

Maybe this has been noted before but I wanted to talk about something I just took care of. I'm playing highres (1280x800). By the way, this leads to a distortion of the screen which drastically modify measures like bearings, route and so on. For example, a route at 45° on the map is not really 45° but around 60°. Same way, if you measure 20 miles to 270°,chances are that it's only 16.
One of the main problems here is that it is near impossible to place you boat in a 90° AOB left or right.
This explains a lot of torpedoes missings IMHO.

Anyway, it seems then that it's impossible to play correctly to SH3 if you don't keep the resolution ratio 1024x768 (4:3) without fine corrections on the fly.

Sur you noted this. But does it exist any solution other than coming back to the ol'1024 ?

EDIT : I'm playing with laptop
