Oh yeah - I completely agree with you
All the ships on the seven seas have agreed on the Nautical Mile being the standard unit of measurement - and use knots as a common unit of measuring speed

As an aside - this makes total sense to me - 1nm equals one minute of latitude - that totally makes sense to me as a unit of measurement
Much more sense than a statute mile, which seems to be based upon furlongs
Or possibly Rods (A 14th Century Surveyors unit of measurement)
Or again possibly the distance a Roman Legion would cover in 1000 paces

(And if you want to know more about the development of our units of measurement, please Wiki it - it just gets more confusing the more you delve into it . But this is the kind of stuff I find really interesting)

What I am actually asking is if we actually know whether the game uses Statute Miles or Nautical Miles

The difference between the two is 26537 yards - so this could be very important
The difference between getting a mission success or a mission failure
