Not to mention Sonalysts and Microsoft Fight Simulator as well. The USA is richly represented in the way of quality simulations.

Is this A: grammar talk or B: national pride? If the answer is A, then my question to you is why you forgot to mention the same mistake i did with the word "europeans". ("The game is developed by ubisoft romania, europeans.")
If the answer is B, then here is my finger.

Secondly, you misread the entire post. The REASON we should appreciate that it is developed by europeans is because they will do the game historically correct.

Why americans will not do it historically correct? Because they dont want that. Just look up any american made history documentaries, it will be filled with false historical data and probably also the national anthem of the u.s.a in the beginning.

Probably? Probably? No sir, I demand it. Also, a large eagle and flag on the loading screen as The Stars and Stripes Forever plays in the background.

Strategic Simulations, Inc., founded by Joel Billings, an American game designer, "was acquired by Mindscape in 1994, spent time as part of Mattel, and finally became part of Ubisoft (in March 2001), which has since retired the brand name."

For those not knowing where the Silent Hunter series came from. It wasn't Europe.

You know what? The only proper response to that, would be vulgar vindictive that would get me banned again. Instead, i'll say it's patently obvious where you spend most of your time.

Well, there you have it. This is why I appreciate that it is being developed in romania.

hey i got the popcorn and soda so i'm ready for some fireworks (and my flame retardant suit too

)

Krauter · 08-09-10, 09:04 PM

In all reality though.. does it matter where the game came from?

As long as it adheres to the historical aspects of the submarine war (either American, German Russian ANYONE!) it will be accepted

.. except if it was swiss.. those guys don't like to fight so we'd probably just have 1945 at the end of the war peace conferences

But think of all the work that goes into hosting that conference. You've got to order the china, make sure the grounds are finely manicured, select the right people to staff the event, skill-up your chefs, make sure the Nazi gold is properly hidden away, etc. You've got the makings of a fine logistical sim there.
