Distance measuring and refreshing

Hello

Sometime after one patch i have issue in correct measuring target ship distance. I’m not sure if this is a bug or feature. That’s why i’m writing here for now.
Problem is happening in naval RB battles when measuring target distances. When i hit measure first time it is always wrong distance about 200-300 meters too far or too less. Now if i forget hit measure second time or it is not possible because there is another ship close by, game starts refreshing wrong distance till ship sink or dissapear behind land. When I finally push distance measure second time i’m provided with correct value and start hit target.

Funny thing is clicking measure distance multiple times, distance is jumping +/- 200 meters. One value is correct you don’t know which one. This bug or feature makes me very difficult to play ships which has a very long reload.

This can also be observed during Test Sails even while you and your targets are stationary. The measured distance changes periodically between the same two values upon refreshing target lock.

And it’s not that it’s merely a case of the range being displayed wrongly while the target actually remains fixed on the spot at the correct distance. If you do not adjust your aim to the newly shown value, you will miss. Even given the inherent inaccuracy of the range finders in the game, it is bizarre that both distances turn out to be the correct ones at the time of their measurement, before reverting back to the other value.
