Since the bearing plotter works by replacing the graphic for the sub displayed on the map, there's no reason why there couldn't be one mod to do an imperial for the American subs and a metric for the German subs.

...\Data\Submarine\NSS_Balao\NSS_Balao_shp.dds is the file name for the Balao that you would replace with a bearing plotter graphic. Any of the previous bearing plotter graphics should work.

What you would have to do is create a folder structure (JSGME compatible) that contained the folders for each sub in the game and place and name appropriately the imperial or metric bearing plotter graphics.

One of the old imperial bearing plotter mods could be used as the starting point. Then just add folders for the German subs and put a metric bearing plotter graphic in each of the German subs folders and name them to match what's in the games folders and you're all set.
