NO

Alistair MacBain:
I can just speak for Galleon regarding through ship but sometimes it works to see the range through the ship.
And clouds work sometimes aswell.

Instead of using the ship's name as the indicator of where the vessel is in the distance, you would then just be firing based on seeing the numbers through the clouds, so now everybody knows where the vessel is and how far away it is; which would make the spyglass obsolete.


Then they could just rename the Spyglass "Name-Finder".

But rangefinder cannot put a box around enemy for the rest of the team to see. Maybe range should only appear once spotted with spyglass.
I use it as gunner of medium to long range ships to get rough idea on how high to aim or lead by

That's fantastic............... The range-finder's HUD box containing the enemy ship's # distance should be visible for the entire crew once it is already spotted with the spyglass. That is teamwork.. that is synergy.. That is balance.. I believe that solves everything..
