that does the phrase "Delta with previous objective" means exactly?

[jhh8]

it means how much time has passed since previous objective completion, to the one that just got completed. time between objective completions

Is "Delta with" an expression, or it's a typo? Personally never heard of it.

Now that you're mentioning it, shouldn't it be "Delta to previous objective"?
I mean, we're not giving the order of calculating the delta with the value, we're telling the result of the calculation to the user.

shouldn't it be "Delta to previous objective"?

The original string says "Delta with previous objective" but I don't know what it means and I can't find a reference of this being used elsewhere.

Is this some military gibberish? And if it's the case, for which term could I replace to keep the original meaning?

It's a term used in mathematics, describing a (rate of) change between 2 things.

Additionally, "original string" doesn't have to mean it's right, there are sometimes mistakes in the old stuff too, when unsure about something, just question it, can't get worse :D
