(It is pushing 3:00am, so working on the actual formulas right now is not an option.)

The in-game stadimeter is designed to do that. It lets you take a vertical measurement to estimate distance. With the distance input the AoB math that I describe here would work.

I'm not necessarily against building a stadimeter tool in MoBo since it is intended to be a standalone app that might be applied in a situation where a stadimeter is not available.

I have a more pressing need in the MoBo tools department before going down the stadimeter path though. In the next update I want to add an "Angle" unit.
