That's for sure! The manual tells us how to use the periscope lens hash marks (the Telemeter Divisions) which, when using the given formula, will give us range to target. Not hardly.
For one thing the "known" mast heights are inaccurate, some by as much as half the dimension they should be. You'll never get two plus two equals four when one of the numeric two's is a three.
Another, the game provides us with differently rendered Field of Views (depending on which resolution/aspect ratio you may use) resulting in inaccurate measurements when thinking one mark equals one degree at low magnification. They don't. The result is frustration when you bother to read the manual and realize something isn't right here.
