Hey Elcid thank so much!
I ran your the Arctan, and Magnification x 6 methods and recorded the results in the link below.

I found your first Arctan ranging method did not work for me and your Mag x 6 fell just short so I changed it to x7 instead and that worked great out to ranges up to 3,000m after that there is a degree of error that gets larger, the further away but that is not important anyhow as you would not be firing torpedoes at that range!

((Mast Height (m) / mils observed) x 7 (Mag) * 1,000) = Range (m) approximate)

See here for the video:
