....that you can't play as much as you want to and still maintain a healthy relationship with your wife.

@ Pizza, welcome to Subsim.

I see you suffer from the same thing as me.

Between SHIII and 'Das Boot', the thing that was rammed home was that everyone fighting in the war was human. We're all congratulating one another on tonnage sunk, and saying 'bad luck, what a shame' when someone's u-boat gets destroyed. From the point of view of a British person, I should be saying 'Good - my grandfather served on Atlantic convoys 60 years ago! I'm glad you sank - one less u-boat to worry about!' Watching Das Boot, I felt sorry for the crew when they got hurt, anxious for their safety when they're on the bottom at Gib, and sad at the end when the U96 gets sunk. BUT, I should be seeing them as 'the enemy' and cheering when they get detected or otherwise fail their mission.

This all proves that I now see u-boat crews as people rather than the enemy, in the same light as I see allied soldiers, sailors and airmen. Now, I just feel that it's a shame that the world has to erupt into warfare in order to solve its problems. All it comes down to is determination and fear, expressed by combatants on all sides, and I understand this now. Only politics divides us...

Now I'm a man of the world, not a man of Britain. That's how games and films such as these have changed me.

a lot of stuff about WW2 and seawarfare. I m, since a long time, passionate about WW2 wargear, especialy tank where germany panzer as no equal on one to one fight. SH3 gave me a certain interest in learning about naval wargear and I actualy learned a lot.

On a more pratical aspect, I learned to go always deeper : as deeper as possible for as long as possible. My wife is so happy about it...
