I'd rather have a mod that gets rid of knots/miles and shows the speeds in km/h and m/s

In fact I think they should have used two rulers. For large scale maps, use nautical miles to make it easy to plot convoys. For zoomed in maps, use kilometres (or optionally miles/yards for those backwards people

) to make it easier to calculate torpedo travel times etc for really-manual-shots.

In all books I have read, the crew speaks about ships "two miles" or "four kilometres" away, but when they start to shoot at it, they say "range 2000m" or "range 3500 yards". Makes sense, doesn't it?
