Pink Zeppelin 0 Posted December 26, 2017 All right, so I have been playing the game and enjoying it quite a bit, but I have noticed that there does not seem to be an option to switch from Metric to Imperial, and Celsius to Fahrenheit. If there is a way to change it, could someone please tell me, and if not, could the developers please add the option? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish I could help but in the meantime, Arma is a milsim (military simulator) and so that's why most units are in Metric Even Imperial-loving countries like the US have adopted Metric a LONG time ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_the_United_States#Military 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One thing that struck me as odd is that they were using Metric for aerocrafts in the game. To my knowledge both the U.S. and U.K. measure altitude in feet.

In that case it would be better to edit the arma3.cfg (useImperialUnits = 1; iirc) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rekkless 240 Posted January 16, 2018 The military (and the rest of the world) uses the Metric system. I suggest you learn son. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon01 902 Posted January 17, 2018 Yeah, you might've heard references to "klicks" (kilometers) as far back as 'Nam. 6-digit grids are divided in 100m squares. Caliber is given in milimeters (except holdovers like the .50cal). The military uses metric in almost everything. The only real holdout of old units would be aviation and navy, where feet, knots and (nautical) miles are still in use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegrowl 0 Posted January 23, 2018 As everyone else says, military uses Metric. But if you are really wanting to change, you can just use what @Evil Organ posted.
