I feel like a tratior!!!
 

I feel like a tratior at the moment. Playing in the med in 43' and the pickings are slim (where are the convoys??) I come across a couple of single merchants and sink them by deck gun. It's only when I take a close look at the flag, I come to the dreadful realization that I'm sinking my own fellow citizens

I have gotin over that(my self with sinking ships flying the Stars and Stripes) But I do know how you feel.

Same here guys..same here..you feel especially bad when you have relatives who fought on both sides during WWII..makes you kinda happy and guilty at the same time :oops:

lol oh come on guys. its us poor brits that have the hard time of it, we're sinking our own ships for 5 years ! :up:

:lol:

I have no qualms about it because I am a Nazi Uboat captain

"you muzt obey orderz"

I have no problem with it either. Chances are even my grandfather who served in the US Navy during WW! and WW2 on US Navy DDs and DEs would even play this sim. Everyone has to admit to themselves the Germans back in the day had some pretty neat gear!

Plus, this is just a game or software simulation (take your pick) and no live farm animals were hurt in the making of and during the playing of this sim. It's just pixels on a computer screen. It is NOT real. Keep that in your head.

Matter of fact, I even crashed my 767 passenger jet into the world trade towers in FS9 just to see what would happen. Of course nothing unnormal happened. It too is just a game.

I even shot up and bombed all the ships at Pearl Harbor with my Mitsubishi AGM Zero in IL-2 Pacific Aces campaign. Still nothing happened.

I porked a prostitute in GTA Vice City and in GTA San Andreas only to kill her in cold blood right afterwards to get my $20 back. Still nothing happened. I even slaughtered a million cops with fire, bullets, a chainsaw, and rockets, and still nothing happend.


Bottom Line.....

It's just a game, let the firing commence!! :rock:

Yeah... those large merchants sure are volatile, aren't they? :)

;) Bookworm, its an weird dilema isnt it

Mmm it 7K tons of metal that I sink...thats nice
but it has my nation flag on it....

Mmmm....

7K Ton
or let my country men go...

mmmmm.....

7K ton!!!
torpedo 1 FIRE!:rotfl:

ROFLMAO :rotfl:


That's the spirit HUNTERICX!!!! WAY TO GO MATE!!!!:up:


Everybody just needs to think about it like Holloween!! Just because you wear the Nazi uniform in the sim doesn't mean you really are one!! Just like kids in the US that I know who dressed up like Darth Vader last year weren't really on the darkside of the force! They just wanted some damn candy, and all I want is some damn tonnage! :rock:

You feel like a traitor because you ARE a traitor, you, you...traitor!

Of course, if BdU complains, you can always blame Bernard.

If anyone doesn't feel good when sinking ships with his country's flag- think about those poor Germans- in a majority of WW2 games you play against Germany- how do they feel when they play ex. Call of Duty :ping: Shooting people who speak their language :huh:


It's just a game...
Electrones inside a computer...

I have a neighbor that wishes he had a computer good enough to play SHIII. He's a retired US Navy submariner that served just after WWII up thru and into the nuclear age of submarines. Right now his health isn't very good so he hasn't bothered getting the new computer. I've told him about SHIII and he was very interested, said he love to command a vGerman sub in the Atlantic.

I have no problems over sinking American and UK shipping, in fact conside it a little revenge (the British for nuclear testing in Australia and Americia for calling the Ugg boot theirs!)
I just had up untill that moment never sunk my own nation till that point in time.

I got over it quickly, as the photos show, and will be attempt to sink some more soon...:up:

That's the beauty about living in Sweden!

If I'd ever tried to be a "traitor" I'd only get penalty for it, since Swedish ships is to be concidered Neutral, so what's the point anyway?:ping:

Oh, and where were you mate when you sank those Aussies? In the pacific?
