Why are numbers formated as text? Left aligned and no commas, makes larger numbers difficult to read.

I agree, there should be thousand separators, possibly dependent on the OS' setting if not too much work.
Also on that note, would be cool if we could choose the format of dates based on our locale, the US/British date standard is confusing to us euros

- we use day/month/year. Also hope the game uses the metric system for distance etc but thats not all that important

We. or some of us, also use year-month-day. 2010-08-23 is equal to 8/23-10

We British are European too! [:)] I will put your suggestion into the development forums to see if it flies, but don't get your hopes up.

I thought that the rest of the world would have figured out by now the we, the Americans and God's gift to humanity, are always right. Especially in the way that we format our dates and times[8|][:D], I say go with the local OS.

Since we're talking numbers, please use correct German calibres und equipment descriptions. There was no such thing like a 88 mm antiaircraft gun. Instead it was labeled 8,8 cm Flak or simply "Acht-Acht". [;)]

Right justifying numbers has been on the suggestions list for some time.

We are sticking with millimeters for everything so just forget it.
