How realistic do you play SH3

I tend to make a reasonable first guess using two observations and either the KM whiz wheel, a linear slide rule, or I use a protractor and ruler on graph paper. I do at least one method, and if I have time I cross check with another.

At longer ranges, it isn't that accurate because of limitations with the range finding mechanism (as it would have been in real life). As you get closer, you can get more accurate ranges, and hence more accurate solutions, until hopefully by the time you are close enough you have an accurate solution.

It doesn't always work out that way (especially in bad weather), but that is how I do it.

There's a huge difficulty gap between 100% GWX players that have God-eye turned on/off. They shoulda modded it so God-eye is like a 15% penalty... at least.
