Hi WAVE SKIPPER,

I respect your views, but the only reason Ubisoft developed Silent Hunter 4 at all is to make money by selling an entertaining game where the player is a submarine Captain in a US sub in the Pacific between 1941 to 1945. Historical accuray will be taken into account, but it certainly won't be the only factor involved.

Members of Forums such as this total less than 3 percent of total sales based on the SH3 figures, and most of the other 97 percent wouldn't know the difference between a U Boat and a US sub if you took the identifying markings off the subs.

That doesn't mean that you don't strive for accuracy, it just means that there is a balance to strike.
