Followers of Brit news may remember the recent farcical example of ITV passing off computer game footage from war sim ARMA II as footage from an IRA attack on a British helicopter. They got a severe rapping on the knuckles from the ITC for it.
Now it looks like the Beeb want to join in with using computer games to illustrate news reports. Fortunately, they have a little bit more of a clue and boldly put the word 'simulation' in the frame. But tell me, at the minute mark, is this not video from Silent Hunter III?
US Treasure Hunters Seek Billions in Platinum from Shipwreck

(Appears at the minute mark. Pretty interesting video in itself.)
Not sure why they didn't use the 5th game. Maybe the researcher doesn't know of the many great mods that have finally made SH5 a rival to the great gameplay of SH3? (Cheesy grin)
