That would probably be a good quote. Theres an implied sense of bias that bordelines on bigotry when turning a fleet boat game into a uboat game. At least thats how i percieve it. I feel as if an important chapter of my nations history is being belittled, and i really don't like that at all. Which is why i tend to react negativley to these threads.

Sorry El Duci old chap but I have to strongly disagree with you here - especially the "bordelines on bigotry" bit. I'll be honest up front and say that I have little to no interest in the Pacific War and never have had. I do not see America's war with Japan in the same way I see the war in Europe. In fact I personaly think the Pacific War was more of a side show in comparison, speaking purely geopolitically.
But my views on the above are irrelevent to the real reason why I disagree with you. SH4 is a game, regardless what the manual says. War isn't a game, far from it. So to see SH4 as some form of iconic effigy for the Pacific War is quite worrying, and is detrimental to the sacrifices made by all sides during the war.
SH4 is simply a game, why not mod it for the Atlantic ? Why not mod it for WWI as well while we're at it ? Its just a game, its essentially just a graphics engine with some parameteres in flat files...its nothing more.
