Q: When determining range, do I measure from the highest mast, the smoker or from some where else?
1. The AOB value should be the one that makes the situation at the instant of firing. However the AOB updates based on periscope bearing change in a logical way. If you set a AOB 060 with the periscope at 330 and then swing the periscope to 360 the AOB will likewise change itself to 090.

2. It depends on what the target ship is. They all vary with no rhyme or reason.
