The lucky ones were those who died instantly.

Or being trapped in a compartment as the boat plunges to Crush Depth............

Von, I understand that you are maybe overwhelmed by the feelings because of what you´ve seen down there but: thats no reason to post such a "cheaters are lame" stuff.

Dont get me wrong, I hate cheaters (MP!) but to talk about the bloody reality in the same text with cheaters...is just strange. One thing hasnt anything to do with the other... you see?

O my God,

these sort of topics asks for it

Never compare things on ur computer with real life.
even if you play 100% Realism and some Realism mods your still cheating

you're cheating Death, you just respawn in an new boat an new crew.

now lets see....

In real life War is Sh!t
Its an horrific experience that changes the lives of the survivors
we respect what they do, and what they did for us.
but the soldiers know the risk very well...they could die. or badly injured for the rest of his life.

Computer Games is Fun/entertaining
Simulations are peoples favorite I think,
they give you a sort of thrill of how things go in real life.
We dont have any risks, we play.

Now, Cheaters, why worry about someone who is manipulating the game so he can win easily, if it satisfact him ok let him be.
but if you give them attention by blaming them for not showing respect to the men lost at sea, you just give him an reason to screw you even harder by cheating more and more. Ignore the lousy bums and continue playing.

A lame excuse of retrieving "items" for a certain person does not cut it ... I am sure there are thousands of 'relatives' of the USS Arzonia and a few other ship graves thatwould be over joyed to "get" something from them... but ..........

Was this a dive on a WWII German U-Boat? or a post war Russian? British??

If I had just dived a sub wreck I don't think my first thought would be to come on a forum and tell people to play SHIII in 100% realism. Computer games would be the furtherest thing from my mind. What a strange post.

Slow N EZ hit it right on the money. Though I dont know about International Law, they should all rest in peace with their shipmates.

Hey VON if your so good at diving well then perhaps you can tutor us all on how to play SH3. We could use a man of experience like you to tell us how its done (nyuk nyuk yea right).

I know this is an old thread now, but I've only just seen it, and I have to say I agree completely with slow_n_ez here. A grave-robber and looter of war relics has absolutely no right to lecture others on having the proper respect for those who died.

Nothing to be gained by leaving this open.

Time to let it die.
