Affecting visual ranges

Hmmm, I seem to be having trouble posting just now...

Well, I was referring to the OP's 25 km range on the Bismarck with the naked eye. I don't know much about the stereoscopic range finders. As you say stereoscopic range finders lose range resolution the further away the target is, due to the angle changing less as the distance increases. At maximum firing range, would you have enough time to zero in on a splash with enough accuracy, considering all the smoke from your own guns? If you do, then that's another trick in the bag.

Lancerr, in particles.dat there should be a section regarding draw distances, near and far or something, I can't remember now and I'm not at my gaming PC. But I think that should allow you to adjust how far an effect gets drawn out to.
