Then you adjust a second dial for the desired range (in hundreds of yards)

What that does is sets/ moves the horizontal bars on the gunsight, so that they would frame the enemy aircrafts wingspan. ...

I do not have COD yet.

Question: Am I correct that if you have your gunsight range dial set at 200 (to match your convergence setting of 200 yards), and you set the wingspan dial at 32 feet, a Bf109 directly ahead (no off-angle/deflection) would be 200 yards ahead when its wingspan filled the open space between the two horizontal lines? Or, as is posted in another thread (http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=22965), will the Bf109 be at the designated 200 yard distance when the Bf109 wingspan fills only the space between one of the horizontal lines and the center pipper/dot....as seen below:
