I would guess that it's in meters. The Akula displays in meters. I don't know about the American subs... What platform did that come out of?

It's for sure a Russian/Chinese sub...so, the best guess is meters... :up:

Oh, I know what that is. It's the floating wire for the Kilo.

Ok Meters make sense but it seems strange that it would be placed there and not next to the length read out, or there at all since I thnk the Kilo is the only one to have that mark.

It does seem odd that Russian crewmen would need a reminder that they are working with the metric system. Do the torpedos have a sign that reads 'Insert this side first'?

In reality, I am sure that it exists to remind the player that he is no longer working with feet.

i think that is what it is for because some of us who switch between american and russian subs are easily confused most of the time

But the point stands, why isn't it then next to the length readout? Also, and I'm just a crazy Canadian, but meters is always indicated with a lower case "m" as opposed to a capital "M".

I believe it stands for "Must crush Capitalism", but hey, what do I know.

I was thinking "Moscow" for a minute but I like that one better!
