According to what you said both are wrong. I'll check it.

- - -

Mil scopes are based on radial degrees (a proportion part of the circle) and to calculate the distance, there's an easy operation:

(height of the target in yards) x 1000 / mils = distance in yards.

A standard human is 2 yard tall. So:

2 x 1000 / 3 = 666 yards (609 meters).

Never mind.
I am metric and can not use that formula, I used the one from Wikipedia Distance = Target height / Mils, but anyway you and BIS have different size mils that is what I am trying to say.

I tested them, and as I said before. Both vanilla and RHS are wrong (tho both are quite close).

BTW the Wikipedia one is the same as the one I said above:

Distance in km = Target height in meters / Mils

Which if you want it in the same unit of distance is:

Distance = target height x 1000 / mils :)

So will you rescale the reticles to correspond the formula or too many other parameters will be affected should this happen ?

That's what we have to evaluate with the team. Thank you for the report :)

Not overly critical.
