Only got the game yesterday. Lots of little things that bug me about it. Clearly it's intended to be a kiddies' arcade shooter. And a First Officer with an eye patch! What's this? Nelson's 18th century navy or the Kriegsmarine of the 1940s? And the whole of Britain has "England" written over it: that'll bug some Jocks and Taffys for sure; Liverpool is where Bristol should be as well. I remember how they had Liverpool wrongly positioned in the vanilla SH3. I thought that they could have at least got Liverpool's location correct: it was, after alll, the Royal Navy nerve centre for the Western Approaches and homeport of subkiller Captain John Walker RN.

Such historical inaccuracies bug me, though they wouldn't bother arcade shooters, I'm sure.

And, unlike SH3, I cannot get my crew to speak German either and to have the whole show run in German.

Aber wir haben gewisse Mittel, um sie zum Reden zu bringen!
