In WW2 games I mostly pick the german side for some reasons
*they impressed me what they have achieved as an Army
*Their Tools where far more advanced then the allies
*They have lost the war and so its an challenge to survive till the end
*They used good strategy's
I respect what the Allies have done for us but they dont impressed me by How they have done it and thats Quantity and Brutal Force
I have seen many docs on TV about the WW2 and mostly you see the germans outsmart with smaller number and the Americans having trouble by gettin the germans for example out of their Foxholes , and then some Hyper Hollywood General Decides to drop a massiv amount of Bombs on that place that afterwards nothing is left....but the germans are still their standing their ground...and the American General called that an Precise Bombing action....''Riiiiight''
Now I dont like the russians either because of their ways of combat. Sending 10,000 men without any Gun just to get the germans waste some bullets on them really makes me Puke. Also what they promised to the polish last defenders that they would help them if they keep the germans busy for a while....it resulted in an slaughter of the last few defenders of the polish army. that made me angry also that the allies didnt gave the polish soldiers any credit for their bravery and support in the World War 2. for example the Battle of Arhnem , they blamed the polish that they have lost that battle....while the Military intelligence knew that there was an Killer group of the SS division. so sending men there was an suicidal mission.
On the brittish I have not much to say against, they went into combat with Honor.
And also I haven’t seen a lot of Docs off them on TV
On the german side I separate them in 2 parts
1: The regular Soldiers, those who went into combat and acted like an Soldier,
I respect them what they have achieved and the way of how they where, they didn’t kill civilians on purpose. I think they where named the Wehrmacht or something like that.
2: The SS Death Squad, I do not respect them, they have slaughered civilians because they where Jews, I cant call these men soldiers, I call them the Nazi bastards. I don’t have much to say about these guys because they where the lowest lifeform I ever knew.
Also I want to recall the WORST bastards on the german Side, those where the Inktsucking bastards behind their Desk and they had no combat experience and they punished soldiers who in their eyes betrayed the Reich if you followed some docs on TV you know what I talk about. Saying that they aren’t worthy to the Fuhrer and that they received the Death penalty…’’What The ****’’
I have not a lot of experience In the history of naval combat but that’s one of the reasons I like SH3 a lot. Because its new and an wild way of hunting down ur enemy and bring them down to the bottom.
Now as for Games
As far as I know I don’t really mind wich side I play, I still if I can choose I would pick the germans, (reason shown above) as such I don’t like games that are in the style of Hollywood. Dramatic movie style start that you get ur ass kicked by the enemy forces and you’re one of the few survivors that are in for revenge…PUKE!!! Give me something that feels real. That’s why I like SH3, at start you can take it easy but after an while progressing in the game itself you are struggling to make it till the end of the war and the British/USA forces are making that really Hard. Like I saw in the mission editor that there will be a lot of hunter killer groups in ’44 I,m not looking forward to get in that year, I,m now enjoying my sinkings without having to much problems (silent rig and dive to 100 Meters when possible)
But as I have seen on many u-boat sites that at start the germans had an big amount of tonnage for an few u-boat losses. And ofcourse as I see that the tonnage rate of the germans are going down and that there are a lot of U-boat losses I think I pretty know what is waiting for me after 1942-43.
My final thoughts
In game I see no matter what side the enemy as an enemy
For example if I,m American/British, I see the german as Enemy that are after my balls. I don’t see them as Nazi Bastard that I want the beat the hell out of it and throw them with their guts in my hand in to the firery pits of HELL.
And as german I see the American/British not as the GOOD GUYS I see them as an enemy that are invading or attack the reich. And even that I now that in history they lost..that I will stand my ground
And I love to handle the weapons/Vehicles/Equipment from the WW2.
