Reminds me of the end of Monty Python and The Holy Grail.

For those not faniliar with "The Holy Grail" the film abruptly ends as Repo men come to take back props and costumes because the film ran out of money..... :har:

BTW Georg Lassen is still alive, as is Reinhart Hardegen and of course Oesten.

Erich Topp was interviewed along with others for Aces of the Deep. Don't know about SH2.

Individual sovereign assets are "declared" to NATO and operations are conducted unders their auspices

The game end in 1943???
Why??
No final destination to Buenos Aires with some general or top secret documents?
:nope:

So SH3 may be the last WW2 sub sim to have help from someone who was there.

Yeah I knew about the consultations, when I said I find the SHIII comment strange I meant... Hmm I can't put my finger on it exactly. Maybe something to do with you're in 1943 and somebody tells you about 2005 SHIII while in reality you're playing SH5... :doh:

I think the Monty Python ending sums it up better. :lol:

Sorry chaps. There was another screen which came first in the sequence of three. Find it below....

Pretty sure that ending screen was the same one from SHIII, which is why it lists SHIII.

As for consultation, they should talk to Zimmerman, what with this 7 million+ tonnage across 9 patrols: http://silent-hunter.us.ubi.com/silent-hunter-5/leaderboard.php?stat=0 :timeout:

Ok that one looks pretty cool, too bad about the flags though.

captainprid 04-21-10 12:25 PM

Well what is historical accuracy compared to peoples tender sensibilities

:nope:

Black May
 
Here I though Black may was May of 2010 when the much sought after patch for SHV failed to materialize?
:D

Well I can understand the sensibilities, just that I don't think that drawing can be modded historically... or can it? :hmmm:

Edit: Eh what am I saying, looks like a (relatively) easy photoshop job.

I'll say it. That's disgusting and in poor taste. ANYTHING that glorifies the reich is disgusting and in poor taste.

you mean like a video game where players assume roles of members of the Reich's military and simulate the killing of American and British ships and people?

If you are willing to play a German WWII-U-boat commander and sink American and British ships, I don't think you should be offended by some end of game screen display. :nope:

I'll say,there's a distinction between enjoying the satisfaction of playing the enemy side in an simulation and feeling true glory when the swastika or third reich memoria are shown. Of course, somewhere the thrill of the hunt and the true horror of the war meet and then its not so funny anymore...

Its true, Hitler killed jews amd duped the germans but what other crimes did he do - that other conqouring countries has'nt done before his times? As we play, there are still contries who do not hold honest elections with a free press... I pray they will be gone before I die.
