RE: Dirtside Question: Zero or low G combat

Is that formula correct? Using it, the average turret height of a AFV 
would be 5.5m (6378000m earth radius, * 5.5m, sqrt = 5923 close 
to 60" or 6km).
I did not think that AFVs were that tall (that's almost a 2 story
building)

Anyway using this formula, distance to horizon on Mars would be 4324,
or 43" (using the 5.5m AFV height and the formula below).
