Thus I had understood well your text but I badly expressed myself.
I don't think that the range operator is extra concerned by the range dial indicator. Because the range information can be seen by the azimuth operator on its scope PPI, and for the elevation operator by her "attention or warning" lamp (target has 15 seconds of the domain of shooting). The range information is certainly important but not capital. I don't exclude the communication between the operators, which is very important of course.

I think that some how we missed the subject. The subject is " why the range DIAL indicator exists " and so why is useful to the operator. The key word of my answer is " attitude " which means that you can easily understand what is the fling behavior of the target and also the insert of manual range in certain conditions. In PPI scope you can not understand the small changes in range .Very soon you will see it by your own in the Samsim, I have seen it in real too many times.
