I like SH3 GWX because it is the perfect distraction.
Engaging and thought provoking.
TV offers nothing: The one scripted show I liked was cancelled (Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip), and the History Channel has disintegrated into one nonsense show after another. (In case you haven't heard the "facts": The Sherman tank is the greatest tank ever produced, all German forces are "fanatical" or "maniacal", all German officers are heel clicking marionettes, no other nation did any serious fighting other than the United States - who won the war singlehandedly, and U-boats "cruelly" stalk innocent merchants while Allied bombers "brave the skies" bombing "Nazi industry". Bah!)
SH3 is the perfect compliment to a good book. Cruise around at 128 / 512 while reading at the desk with the game headphones on... just keep an eye out from time to time for convoys, task forces, and listening for the dreaded "aircraft spotted!".
Once targets have been found the books away and it's down to business planning and executing the attack!
Perfect downtime.
