Idea for stadimeter range estimates

TorpX · 01-07-13, 01:53 AM

Those who use manual targeting, doubtless already know that long range stadimeter use is exceedingly difficult, bordering on utterly useless, due to the masts seeming to grow or shrink moment to moment. I was thinking that, maybe it would be possible to change the ship models by adding something like a black knob on the top of the highest mast(s), and thereby permit us to see them better. (Think of something along the lines of a flagpole knob in black.)

I know this will strike many as a very gamey idea, and may not be worth the trouble, but I thought I'd throw it out here.
