If you can't see the mast top, use the targets funnel instead. Just something I've had in the back of my mind for a while now.

I would love to be able to choose the top of the funnel where possible; the mast is just to skinny and with its growing and shrinking, it's often very tricky to get a good reading. But I guess it is one way to try to simulate the uncertainty that existed in RL (assuming the developers made a conscious decision.)
