Visual Measurement of Very Long Range Distances

Same here.

In RL, I think the reason the vertical dimension was used was because the ship would always be vertical, unless it was already listing. Using the length means adjusting for the AoB, which is undesirable. The way ships are rendered graphically, though, seems to create bigger problems for us. I'm speaking of the way the masts seem to grow or shrink, from moment to moment. (I guess everyone has this problem?) Is there any chance of eliminating this?

Maybe you got something here.
