Since the periscopes don't give us 2x, 4x, and 8x, we're limited to just 1x but even then I'm getting inconsistent results even with Krupp's ship dimension fix.

I intend on doing some extensive range tests with Krupp's figures .
I dont have the Whiz wheel you speek of - I do all my Trig with an Electronic slide-rule (calculator).

Could you tell me what ship you were attacking. There may be some out there that still need mast height adjustments - dont forget Krupp's fixes were only for Japanese
shipping the allied stuff is not corrected as yet.
