That you can learn much about a specific war in a sim game related to that war is not much of a surprise
I've too learned many things about WW2 playing such games, be it at the Atlantic, Pacific or somewhere in Russia.
My point was more about the morale question behind this. A game like SH simulates the war itself, but nothing surrounding it. The civil population of concerned countries for example, or what lead to the war and could it had been prevented.

There are some things I learned about that just because of SH3. Some time ago I stumbled upon an article what it meant to the french people living in the towns where the germans built there submarine bunkers. That many people died through allied bombardment just because of those bunkers.

I just wanted to discuss a little where there are more people thinking of stuff like that while playing SH3. These are things that no war sim teaches you.
If you're interested in submarine warfare in WW2, the whole SH series is the right place for you, that's right. And this is why I own the first 3 games of it.
And by saying that: thx for the whole GWX thing btw
