It looks like the waterline at the top of your target thing does nothing more in the game than to note the height of your target in the periscope. I wouldn't be surprised if they actually copied the army's math and the book/waterline are the two values.

Will, kind of…. I have a tube with mirror and lens of a know length, so you can get two image’s and when you superimpose them on a calibrated system you find distance and you can find height doing that to, just different technique. Now with that , I'm not the a good math person, but if I know the height of something and using a machine that will give me the angle between that height and the straight line to the target that I’m looking at it( not sure if it cos or sin), I can find the length to it. using Trig
