Yeah, it would be nice to be able to do those conversions in the game. After awhile dividing by 2000 becomes second nature. Also remember a target traveling 3 knots is going 300 yards a minute, 100 yards in 20 seconds. One knot is 100 yards per minute.
Yes, imperial measurements are closer to how nature works, metric is strictly for our retarded convenience, but have little connection with reality. It's a lousy choice. But what are computers for?
Reminds me of the all time circle runner stupidity award. I was working as a marine mechanic many moons (about 25 years) ago and from across the yard, a fellow mechanic (pronounced mech' a nick) yelled, "Hey Steve", "Eh?", Hey I forget. How many sixteenths in an inch?"
I had to think real hard before I answered that one... "Who's buried in Grant's tomb?"
