Math Formula for range

Unless a mod has changed it, for the scopes, the small marks are 1°, the large ones 4°.

So, at low magnification:
Range in yards = mast height in feet / 3 / tan (# of small marks)

At high magnification, multiply the answer by 4.

For the TBT, the small marks are 0.2°, so:
Range in yards = mast height in feet / 3 / tan (# of small marks * 0.2)

Thank you derstosstrupp, I will try these next time I'm in the game.
