That does make me wonder how they calculated range on the surface. Mk.I eyeball?

O'Kane mentioned using 7x50 binocs, with a reticle graduated in milliradians. Of course, that doesn't mean other ways were not used as well.

Another thing to keep in mind is that if you use the constant bearing method of fire control, range gets taken out of the equation. No need for stadimeters or I.D. of the target either, at least so far as SH4 goes. All you need is target course and speed.

Thanks for that tip! From what I've read it also helps to have 0 degrees gyro angle on the torps too.
