Stadimeter range is off (Bug?)

Main thing is, that that is the mark (mast top) were the stadimeter should be pointed every time (not some odd part of the mast or ship). And it gets easier as the target comes closer. You should be able to rely the fact, that the aiming point is alway the same (to get correct range), which is not the case in the SH4 (without modding the ship data).

Actually, no. I never have a very good estimate. It's always way short or way over. It never works for me unless I'm within 800 yards or so.
