Distance Q ? How High are you off the Sea

Distance Q in SH5 ? How High are you off the Sea when standing watch on top of the coning tower ?


If say 20ft then according to the chart I read online , your horizon is about 5.2miles away. So if we see ships on our horizon then according to that scale they can be no more than 5.2 mile from you.

Given that is the case , should the models of ships on our horizon not be bigger ?

It says if your standing on shore (your view point) and your eyeline is 6ft off the ground , then the horizon you see is 3 miles away. Ive seen ships on the horizon from a beach and they look a lot bigger than what you see through a periscope in SH games.

Do you think the scale of ships is correct SH series compared the the uboat and men or should they be bigger.
