Target speed calculation made easy

So...quick question here as I don't have Sh4 yet. The Range tools in this sim measure distance like .8nm vice giving it in yards?! The Navy deals in yards for most everything except air control.

When we would mark contacts on the ship, it always referenced yards, 080 12,000 yards etc...this also worked well with the 3 minute rule. To give inaccurate distance measuring like nm w/ decimals is a bit absurd. It's one thing about SH3 that I didn't particularly care for either. Works well on a large scale chart, but when your talking closer in ranges, specific yards/meters would pay great dividends.
