How could you wanna miss out on fun like that!?

I dunno General, I guess it's called personal preference, the reason we have all these mod things anyway. I'd guess modders have stronger personal preferences than most the rest of us and that's what motivates them to do all that work we appreciate.:up:

Uh, that's a pretty weak argument. I urge you to re-read carefully what I wrote above. It's all about fun! You aren't actually influencing the outcome of WWII you know?

Tater said that he wouldn't want to play as the U-Boat. You said the above, not putting tater in the U-Boat. Look, if we're going to argue, we have to have different positions here. It just ain't happening!:rotfl:
Personally, I'd love to run a U-Boat in the Indian ocean. I'd have to learn about what the real ones did, and I always have loved SH3 (am I allowed to say that any more?:oops:) I don't carry any animosities from the war with me as I play these games.
The point I'm proud of is that the United States demonstrated without question that it was a new kind of victor, not exacting penalties as the Allies did in World War I, not annexing conquered territory as its own as the Soviets did after the same war, but rebuilding its former enemies to function as independent entities to rejoin the community of nations as equals. Keeping with the spirit of that kind of victory precludes us from continuing the hostilities that victory conquered. Both Germany and Japan are world leaders today, not puppets of the US. That is by design and it is the best possible outcome of the war. In fact, it would qualify as a miracle if we were to permitted to credit such things any more.
