So my question is does anyone know how to use this periscope to calculate the distance from just the pips on the y axis?

Okay, understood. Sorry, I'm afraid, I'm not able to help with this one, as I don't use any of these tools myself ... seems way too tedious to me.
I merely use the namograph in the map view (F5) for speed calculation and for distance measuring the ruler, also, on the map view, that's it ... I figure, I let my Quartermaster do some of the work as well during an attack ;-)
For speed, I usually add another 1-2 knots ... the entire process is a mixture of some limited raw data, experience and pure guestimate ... seems to work okay as well :-)
