By way of disclosure, while I have no problem with accurate representations in any game, I've never played SH3 or SH5 (won't buy the latter due to DRM), and while I have full SH4, I've never even looked at the u-boats in the add on. Not once, have no plans to, ever. I'd play a DD game to SINK u-boats, mind you. Even sank a couple in SH4 as a USN sub.

So if being immersed in a game fighting for the nazis bugs you, play something else would be my suggestion.

BTW, when it comes to "accuracy" I think it's important to realize that aside from PORT, you should not see flags at all. Did u-boats surface, and put out a nazi flag? No. Did ships run with flags on the jackstaff? Not at sea, except maybe special cases for photos. In SH4 I was thinking of an accurate flag mod---it would remove all the %@!$%! flags.

So I have to sort of wonder about "accurate" flags that fly on u-boats on patrol, since if those who use them really wanted accuracy, they'd really have no flag at all.
