OK, so logged on again and got better results but still off.

Locked onto target, but before that in the dialog box, there is no option to turn TDC on or off.

Locked on and indentified the ship, with the mast height of 36 (checked the box).

Input that into the stadimeter and get a range of 988 when the ship is actually 700m away.

Does middle of the scope have to be where the water meets the hull to get an accurate reading?

yes, middle of the scope needs to be where the waterline meets the hull of the ship

When you identifed the ship, what was the mast height shown? Why did you have to enter it?

I had to enter it because the mast height was reading 0 when I went to get a stadimeter reading. However, some ships are missing in my recog manual. This might be a problem as well (read above)
