Very interesting stuff Duci, who was that? That's funny for me because I remember, when I was something like 11, went to the shop with my parents who were OK to buy me a new videogame. On the shelf there were Silent Hunter and Aces of the Deep. The pictures on the back of the box of Aces looked better, but I thought "no way I'm playing a German, yuk", so I picked Silent Hunter to play the real heroes
Now I'm still under no illusion at all regarding the proportion of actual nazis in the u-boat arm, anyway nazi or not they picked the wrong side. But I think it's like Jaesen, seriously, you have to admit that German/Nazi gear was overall quite sexy. Guns, planes, u-boats, battleships, fancy uniforms, badass looking tanks etc. That and the "underdog" feeling usually makes a good game experience. That and living in France I'm more familiar with Brest, Lorient etc than with Pearl Harbour and the rest, it's easier to relate to.
Oh yeah and maybe one day we'll have a good SH in WWI
