This may sound out of scope with the limited German radar but in reality the use of
telescopic range finders were common and reliable for line of sight engagements.
That is true, but remember that the longest hit ever made on a naval target was when Scharnhorst and Gneisenau sank HMS Glorious. Scharnhorst hit Glorious at a range of 26,465 yards, or about 13 nautical miles. And Scharnhorst definitely had the newest, best fire control equipment.
