For the deck gun, I understand the reticle art is probably set in stone/too much work to change. Maybe you could add an onscreen display showing both yards AND feet?
Thanks!

Right now I am still in the part of the war where the US is getting pushed back east, so there's no air support available where I'm patrolling.

The game displays what it displays, how it wants to. There is a global choice between metric and imperial. That's it. As Nisgeis found out when doing his "3D TDC and Radar Range Unit" mod, the radar is meters no matter which "global" setting you choose. For two drawn scale lines to represent a given distance, you would need a separate drawing for each unit of measure. If you instead have the line represent a percentage of a scale, that makes things a bit easier for the dev, but more difficult for the player to deal with. For the most part, it is what it is. Just know that a nautical mile is 2025 yards, not the 1760 of a land mile. If it takes an hour to go one nautical mile, you've traveled at one knot. A nautical mile is 1.85 kilometers, or 1852 meters...
As to "combined operations", the game has always had that. It's just that the Stock game didn't "advance" the front lines the way the mods do. So long as there are resources available, you will get support from both Sea and Air. That's not to say they are the smartest bunch that come try to help you out...
