Something wrong with distance I think

At work, so I can't try it myself atm, but does the ruler distance when applied to the U-Boat lengh (or any other ship for that matter) fit to scale?

I don't think that the ship markers (or the uboat marker) have been scaled so they represent the real length of the object.

Hmmm. Time to test this out this evening, I assume. But giving Torpedo symbols usually hitting the ship at the right spot both in the engine itself and on the map updates, it may fit after all.

Cant test with merchants (as there's none around), but the uboat marker's length is 100 meters, so atleast the uboat marker is not reflecting the real length. You make a good point about the torpedo thing, tho.

100 meters? Oy vey, that does not bode well.

My money is on that 15km scale "graphic" not being scaled correctly.

Tools should be working fine. I'm sure we would have noticed it sooner if they weren't.
