I have to disagree just a little bit, but only to make a distinction between "Subsim" the community and Subsim proper, which is Neal Stevens. The last I heard he was still on good terms with Ubisoft, so much so that the SHO dev team paid to fly him to Germany and show him what was going on.
Redline202, I take it you've never been to war. You go to war because you believe, rightly or wrongly, that your country, your family and your way of life are in danger. You do what you can because you believe that's the only reasonable thing you can do. I had absolutely no beef with the Vietnamese, but I helped kill them wholesale. As long as politicians see the need to start wars with other countries there will be more than enough young people willing to kill and die for whatever cause there is.
Like it or not, the Silent Hunter series is a war game, a combat simulator. That is the sole reason for its existence. If that bothers you, there are many far more peaceful games out there. Would you ask for a mod for the Medal Of Honor series to turn it into a "go for a walk and have a picnic" game?
