Metric System

[unmerged(475412)]

Hi there,

i was wondering playing this game, why metric system is in use. It's a little bit strange to me to see a F35 fighter flying with km/h instead of knots with an altitude of meters instead of feet.
Would be much more familiar to see ships at knot's instead of km/h. It would give the game a much more better feeling, so i think.

Because i dont understand this from the developers, pls tell my why are using the metric system and will be there an option to change for players like me into the imperial system?

Don't get me wrong, i d'ont complain, i love this game! It's just a question.

Thank you very much.

Longi,

The reason is that the game is developed by Europeans

We plan to add more imperial and nautical units to the user interface.

Thank you!

Thank god for Europeans, I have a dislike of imperial systems. I likes knots, metric just fine. Long live Napoleon and the metric system.

We still use miles per hour in the UK.

Will it be optional which system we can use for each type of measurement, maybe in the global game settings?

Not sure yet. We may just add the alternate to the tooltip for simplicity.

To the best of my knowledge all NATO militaries use the metric system.

Including the US and UK.

Correct, all NATO militaries aswell as the Russian one use Metric.
