24h clock setting, please

I'm not American, but I play with English and then I get am/pm which is unnatural to me. Couldn't you look into adding a setting for if you want 24h clock or 12h one?

    Exactly. 

    It really isn't that hard to convert the 24 hour metric system into military time.

    This thread is making me confused lol . Isn't military time the same as 24hour? I use 24h which I would like to see in my game as an option.

    catnipdealr​, it is. But in the USA, where the game was developed and made, a majority of Americans do not use military time. It is only really used by the military. A common citizen uses the am/pm system so you can have a 6am and 6pm.

    I speak English as a second language and this am/pm thing is so confusing to me. I keep forgetting which is which all the time. Don't native speakers ever mix it up? 

    I play the game in Czech and it displays time in a 24 hour format.

    Perti23​, I can't speak for all English speakers, but I know a majority of Americans find the 24hr format more confusing. For people that I know, 6am and 6pm is less complicated. I only know the military time clock because I was an Air Force brat in my childhood during the 1980's and 1990's. Outside of the military, I don't think most Americans really use it, thus why saying 1800 hours is confusing to them.
