A very quick way, but not accurate, is to multiply the MPH number with 1.5
so if you see a vehicle running at 10MPH x 1.5 = 15KMH. It's not the most accurate, but it is very easy to get approximate speed in KMH without wasting time. The real answer to the above is a bit over 16km/h. Yes, multiplying by 1.6 would be more accurate, but not as easy to multiply on the fly.

That or do as I did and move to the UK for few years to get used to MPH.


The above is not an official reply

It's only my opinion that it should be changed to metric, if it's not possible to make it into an option. What's not only an opinion but a fact, is that the metric system is logically superior. But if developers want to keep the miles, I'm quite okay with that.

I remember me that I have played with an older version of SP with metric mesures. I think that it war Steel Panthers III. But maybe it war a french version. It was possible to change in the option pannel, but it's history now... It was in 1998...
