Even though Silent Hunter 3 was just a submarine simulation game, I don't think it's possible to play the game and not have a great deal of respect for the men who manned the U Boats in WWII.
Did I have a twinge of guilt at the back of my mind while playing SH3...absolutely. My Dad fought in WWII so why wouldn't I. But I played the game and thoroughly enjoyed it, and my respect for the U Boat crews is huge.
I anticipate the playing experience to be enhanced in SH4 because of graphical and gameplay improvements, but I won't enjoy the game more because I'll be an American Captain this time.
I think that playing these games can teach an open minded person to understand the mind set of a submarine captain....whichever side he's on.
