Ranging a Type 4 Submarine
I'd like to report an minor glitch in the recognition manual. I was setting up to attack a surfaced enemy Type 4 submarine. According to my plot (which was solid), the range should have been 1200 yards. When I used the periscope stadimeter I came up with a range of over 2000 yards. I knew that was wrong so I kept adjusting the stadimeter until the range read close to what my physical plot had. (image 2)
I think the game assumes that you use the top of a raised periscope in lieu of a mast to get your range. Unfortunately there is no periscope up since submarines do not routinely drive around on the surface with their scopes up.
Somehow the range setting needs to be adjusted so that the measuring mark is the top of the conning tower and not top of the missing periscope..
My guestimation worked. I hit the sub.
