To be honest I think when it comes to this forum it is more of a want to be in the Atlantic in future Silent Hunter titles rather than any real revisionist history.
A comment that stuck with me to this day went somthing like "Silent Hunter 4
... In the Atlantic....
..... With U-Boats
" Or something like that. Despite SH2 and SH3 being atlantic and mods out the rear end this year this user as well as others seemed to be unable to stand Silent Hunter going elseware.
It is far worse when people wanted SH5 to venture out into more modern territory. People crying about how it wouldn't be realistic even tho most people here have already changed history in the Atlantic and pacific 100 times over. Hypocritical and hard headed and perhaps that along with DRM is why Sh5 sucks so bad as well as its sales.
I wouldnt let it get to you. Its just gamers.
