Flipping heck folks. This is about WAR. People die.

From this and another similar thread, some people seem to think that you sail about launching bunches of flowers at ships, there's an explosion of petals and everybody gets whisked away in an invisible silver cloud to a paradise.

A u-boat simulator should simulate war. If I go on a war patrol I expect my men may get wounded or killed, although I hope they will not and I will work hard to make sure they stay healthy. The reality is that in this theatre of war, as most of us know, three quarters of the crews did not return. I doubt it was pleasant for them to see their comrades and friends having bits blown off them and getting washed overboard and countless other horrors.

Death should be in the game. It's the whole purpose of being at war. You're out to kill the enemy or be killed.

And I am not an eye candy, X-box junkie that needs gore .(Currently about to start replaying Elite FYI ). Still I'd also say it's not a MAJOR fault if a bit of 'Oh hell Frehnsenn just got his head removed by shrapnel' was missed out. I just think it would be more immersive with it in.

Phew!! Rant over!
