meters?

Fandango · 07-10-05, 02:19 PM

Monkey?

kgsuarez · 07-10-05, 02:33 PM

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...

kgsuarez · 07-10-05, 04:19 PM

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

its meters juding the cream back ground from the kilo

TLAM Strike · 07-11-05, 11:03 AM

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.

Kapitan · 07-11-05, 12:21 PM

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

Ultraboy · 07-11-05, 07:00 PM

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.
