Bichri1 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 How can I manually estimate distance with Leo's sights? http://shrani.si/f/8/y5/15TJ1Q7H/1/strichbild-emes.gif 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenny Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 center circle =0,5 mil wideside of crosshair to middle of center circle= 1 milThat enough info? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenny Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 ...btw:Those imperfections of languages. ;-)I mean manualrange estimation isn't really possible, as manus(the hand) has nothing to do with it.Shouldn't it be called occular-range estimation?? 8-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bichri1 Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Hehe, you are right! Thank you for your answer, but can you please tell me how many mils are equal to the longest lines in the sight? (Let me guess 4,5 mil?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted November 21, 2013 Members Share Posted November 21, 2013 No, it's five.Below you have the 2.5 mil length line and the 2.5 mil wide gap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenny Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 For further Info on that..and how to use the stadialines: Contact your local recruiting office ;-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted November 21, 2013 Members Share Posted November 21, 2013 Actually, there's a FERO tutorial on YouTube (can be found in the tutorials section of the Steel Beasts Channel). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogwa Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Try this link http://www.1stusvcav.com/Techniques/Shoot/estimating_range.html Thanks to Gary Owen for the link. Some other thread necromancy http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/archive/index.php/t-12507.html Using the mil scale in the binoculars, measure the length or width of the object. Then substitute in the mil relation formula: R=W over M, where R equals range in thousands of meters, m equals width on stadia in mils, and W equals width of the object in meters. W was a constant of I believe 3.5 for width and 7 for length. Edited November 22, 2013 by Mogwa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSprocket Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Surely it should be .5, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10? They appear to be evenly spaced except for the mil-dot/inner line attached. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eisenschwein Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 No. Sorry for the limited Size, but thats the Rule here. I hope it helps with the EMES 15 and 18 workaround. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhay Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 If I can see them, they can see me.... I'm going to get my calculator out and punch this formula in while quaking with fear??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Well out to 1,000m its "battle sabot" since the trajectory is almost dead flat.T-72 is roughly:2.5m high7.0m long (hull)3.6m wideLay the gap in the recticule onto the target and it gives you the range.So if it fills the 7mils gap between the 0.5mil and 7.5 mil, its a 1,000m away.Traverse slightly right so the tgt is no longer in the gap but the centre aiming mark is on the centre of the seen mass and fire.The flat trajectory will look after the rest.If he's over a 1,000m away (silhouette is smaller) then you have a bit of time to do the sums.If he's closer (silhouette is bigger) then just put the centre aiming mark on the centre of the seen mass and fire.

I'm going to get my calculator out and punch this formula in while quaking with fear???From 0-1500m a good gunner will instantly know how far the ENY is away as soon as he sees it.

Can nobody do simple multiplications and divisions without a pocket calculator anymore?Apparently not. In the Leo 2A4 gunner's place, on your left is (literally) a look-up table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
