Is that also how they make "dia-fragments"?

It is, it is a sheet of muscle above your stomach that causes hickup spasms.

I'm at a loss as to why such two distinct concepts can have the same name though.

Because of the way both close, I think

Hi all.

I no longer can play SH3 due to computer problems, still in the game with SH4/5 Uboats.

My UZO field of view has USN markings and I use Mils for range calculations, i.e., I let each small tic represent 2.4 mils. I came about using that quantity by first going to the "Academy" and used one of the scenarios displayed there. I "asked" my Weapons Officer for the Bearing and Range of a stationary target. He replied with 020* @ 5000m. I then used the mils formula:

Target Masthead height (meters) x 1000m / ((2 tick marks) 4.8 mils) = 5000m. Since I now have two sources giving me the same answer...I'm calibrated for gameplay.

I guess it'll work for whatever game one plays provided you calibrate before getting into a career.
