Bug: M reported as NM

[MarkShot]

In the unit window when you zoom in greatly and click to check the distance between two points, the distance gets reported as "NM" instead of "M". Thanks.

If you are referring to the distance unit, that is correct. Everything in Harpoon is calculated in Nautical Miles, not land miles. Basically, the nautical mile is about 14% greater than a land mile, give or take.

[MarkShot]

No I mean zoomed in M as in meters.

[Shark7]

Sounds like it might be a typo then, I'll report this to the team.

[MarkShot]

Yep, it must be meters, since the numbers are being reported in the thousands. Thanks.

I'm not seeing what you are suggesting.  You realize you don't have a good reference until you clicked two places in the unit window, otherwise your initial click may well have been very far away.  Please give great detail to reproduce, nm is correct.

Ah, maybe I see what you mean, the wacky lat/lon in the ()?

(1) Zoom unit window to 128X.

(2) Click on one point and then another point in the window as close as possible.

(3) Status line will report "Range is XXXX nm ...". I think that should read "Range is XXXX m ..."

Thanks, Tony.

Confirmed, unit window at 128x zoom clicking from point to point a small distance will infact display what appears to be metres in nautical miles.
 
Well spotted Mark

Believe it or not. This happens to me with every game I play (spotting stuff). It is either a gift or curse depending on how you see it.

[Stalintc]

Definatley a gift especially since you beta test the Airborne Assault series!
