which to believe? :)

There are a few instances in the game where I get a few conflicting pieces of data and don't know which to believe.

For instance: Looking at the nav map, there is a pattern drawn around my sub with calibrated distances on it: 200 yards, 300, etc. But the problem is that this doesn't seem to line up with the distance as measured by the ruler tool. What the ruler says is 650 yards, the pattern says is 900 yards. Quite a difference! (Do any mods change this? I have RFB+RSRDC installed).

Also, the speed gauge inside the interior of the sub. If I see some number of knots on the digital display on the control bar at the bottom of the screen, sometimes the interior gauge will be off by 1-2 knots from that. Which one is right?

On the plus side, it's oddly fun to finally get good enough to conduct an attack on 100% realism successfully

*EDIT* Another one: if I set the target height on the stadimeter dial, and look at the distance it points to, that's different from the distance displayed in the TDC window in the digital distance display by a little bit. I don't mean that I measured the distance wrong, I mean that no matter *what* you measure as the distance, the displays don't agree with each other.
