I am not agreeing or disagreeing one way or the other.Just stating a fact about the game engine.
I really could not care a less how someone wants to play their game or whether a particular thing is accurate or not.Thats all up to the interpretation of fatcs and evidence by each individual.
What I was arguing was your handling of the whole thing.
People were doing everything they could to help by giving their
interpretations of what they know about the Uboat war based on what info and sources/books they might have.And you just kept repeatingthe same thing over and over and just seemed to be arguing for the sake of arguing.
You seem to take anything you read as the gospel from your books.That alone is a big mistake.I would say that most books are nothing more than the authors interpretations of the facts that they had at the time of the writing of the book.All of history is up for interpretation..especially after so many years have passed and memories begin to fade and other stuff is lost to time.
I always live by the saying
.."Never believe anything you hear and only half of what you read".
What it all comes down to with "facts" is lets say you take 5 books.Now all these books are on the same subject.However all of the have slightly differing views or facts of what they are trying to explain.So you have to take what you read in all of them combine it all together and try to find a point somewhere in the middle and that middle will usually be closer to the truth then any one of those books alone is conveying.Everything in life is based on interpretation of events..so is history and the books on the subjects .
