When playing Battlefront's Team Yankee game, do you use metric or imperial measurements?

Winston Smith25 Apr 2017 9:21 p.m. PST

Leave the metric measurements for the Communists.

Remind me, how many NATO members use imperial, and how many use metric? :)

Just the ones who put a man on the moon.

But the Germans use metric don't they? :)

What scale is the game? 15mm or 0.591 inch?

Nick Bowler26 Apr 2017 5:29 a.m. PST

I didnt realise that the USA was communist! (Winston has forgotten that the US is officially a metric country, with imperial measurements being defined in terms of base metric units)

the moonshot was a LONG time long…
all real scientists and engineers in the US use metric now.

> all real scientists and engineers in the US use metric now.

since that Mars debacle?

Old Wolfman26 Apr 2017 6:41 a.m. PST

I usually use imperial,but consider myself flexible,if only for the game.

daler240D26 Apr 2017 6:53 a.m. PST

even the Mars debacle was quite awhile ago. The Orion program is all metric. I agree using a MIX of the two is a disaster. The Apollo landing computer was SI units internally.

daler240D26 Apr 2017 6:55 a.m. PST

for gaming at the scale I do, inches are actually the sweet spot. I use basewidths though, so it is unit agnostic for all practical purposes.

> The Apollo landing computer was SI units internally.

I went to a presentation about a decade ago about that computer, a simply astounding piece of computer history.

daler240D27 Apr 2017 4:31 a.m. PST

agreed, it really is!
