so if a bomber takes 2 gunsights at 100m and 1 at 100 m then how many at 150 m?

Eye, recticle, object! There are three parts to this. This is why anything that is in the ring is scaled by 10. So a fighter with a 10 metres wingspan that fits once is 100m. Fits twice is 200m. Fits 1 and a half times is 150m. The value of multiplication is always a 100th of its actual size. (for the 109 Revi)

30m bomber fits once he is 300m, fits twice is 600m. Fits 1.5 times is 450m.


Wing span or length multiplied by number of times in the recticle multiplied by 10 = Distance to the target.

Yes you are quite right, I was wrong. Also I noticed its not mulitplied by 100 but 10!


30 times 1 times 10 = 300
30 times 2 times 10 = 600
30 times 1.5 times 10 = 450
