I'd taken quite a few screenshots for this, and wanted to wait until I had them ready, but figured that I never might have them ready, so here goes

THE THINGS I LEARNED FROM SILENT HUNTER III

Chief engineers were typically very hygienic. If a valve burst above him, he could stand under it for hours instead of getting out of the way.
Contrary to popular belief, fires were not a concern in either of the era's navies. Life-boats, life-rings, wood, flags, and even sailors were fire-proof.Not that they could hold a candle to the people in ports - they survived everything from flak shells to B-17-dropped bombs.
Search-lights on ships are highly explosive.
Even if a ship was listing, causing the gun crewmen to find themselves underwater, they did not abandon their posts. They just hung on to their guns and held their breath!
Likewise, it was not uncommon for German submarines to dive - possibly very deep - with the watch crew still in the conning tower. Pressure-increase at great depths is a myth.
Only the German navy possessed submarines.
The BBC contributed electronics to the Kriegsmarine.
The advanced hydrophones and radar of the era could see/listen through mountains.
Teleportation was widely used in all navies. It was used to get from station to station in submarines, or to abandon sinking ships.
If land stretches on for kilometres and there's no submarine to see it, does it still exist? Nope.
Moon phases are a myth.
Kriegsmarine u-boats had infinite supplies.

Add your own! Let's make this one a classic
