Stadimeter accuracy

I'm using TDWs NewUI and the manos scopes mod 8x5 version. The only problem is that these slightly incorrect range readings will then throw off your AOB and speed calculations too. Since I switched to "map contacts off" i've had a much higher rate of misses. Is this normal with the stadimeter?

It measures angle A so can only be as good as your mastheight and waterline settings.
So at long range it can be hard to get it right.

As you track the target - keep undating you solution.

So yes you must wait untill the ship is closer for inputting you final solution.
