[REL] Periscope Rework BETA

Do I have to multiply this by the magnification as well?

When zoomed in using "More realistic Periscope" my math comes out as follows:

27.1 mast height touching / line 12 graticule x 100 = 225.83

This is not the distance to target though. But if I multiply by the magnification difference (No mag = 1.5 High Mag = 6 difference of 4.5) the range comes out correct.

New math then is 27.1 mast height / line 12 graticule x 100 x High Mag 4.5 = 1016

It looks as though the graticule lines do not change with the magnification, so this would certainly play with ranges.
