Manual targeting Process?

Does anyone know the equation to determine range based on mast head height and mils, so I can make my own table based on the new magnification? Thank.s

I'm glad you like those tables, dmlavan. The missing ingredient for making range tables for GWX is the number of degrees that each mark on the 2 periscopes and UZO represent in GWX. (For example, the tables I made for regular SHIII use the data from page 39 in the manual which says that a small tick mark in the zoomed periscope is 0.25° (a quarter of a degree). (Though, note the published UZO value of 0.20° is incorrect, based on my experiments; it should say 0.15°.)

If the GWX guys would share this info, I could whip up some similar tables for use with this popular mod.
