The first thing I think when I see such things is "Don't these idiots think I went to school?"
When a drama or history-based game or movie comes along and shoves a situation down my throat that I know is outright fantasy based on what we learn in 6th grade school physics, I don't say "Ooh, wow, cool!". Instead I'm wondering why these folks get paid five figure salaries to treat me like an ignorant child.

Ok so a rocking U-boat is not that realistic, but what is your take on the special effects, the rare blackouts and sparks I mentioned?
