do you have to install all of the gwx files to have dolphins and whales?

I'm English and the first time I got into firing position on a merchant in stock SH3, I looked at St George's Cross and couldn't bring myself to hit the fire button!

It's the first time anything like that has happened to me in a video game, and I've played a lot.

And the wierd thing is, if you'd asked me before I'd have sworn blind that I'm not patriotic!

No, sink them all. Renown is much more important now!

Opposite here.

Gimme tons of missions to sink Polish shipping! (one would have to sink them again and again, as they were so few...).

You could even invent Palestinian shipping in order to let me sink some too!

Maybe it's sick, but I just enjoy much sinking 'ours'.

I really regret there is no a Baltic mission in September '39 in careers. :/

the only time i feel any guilt is when i sink a neutral, which doesnt happen very often

We think THIS is bad...just think about the poor guys/gals who have their fingers on the magic button (key) designed to do a whole lot of damage...:hmm:

I actually just got around to buying SHIII a few months ago because I just couldn't get motivated to sail for the other side.

It's not like I have anything against Germans or something dumb like that. I've always figured they fought just as honorably as the allies on average. I think it's just that after so many hours in the US subs of SHI it felt like some kind of treason.

Oh, I have MUCH against Germans (i.e. the WWII occupants and aggressors) and I don't think they "fought just as honourably" as, for example, Polish did (Polish didn't murder whole cities, villages and nations 'for the cause'), but Jimbuna is right - it's only a game. I, as an adult, am aware of things and I choose to play. But IF I had a, say, 5-10 years old son, I'd have to think A LOT about letting him play this... Yuo know, it could be too hard for him to distinguish between PLAYING 'on the wrong side' and SUPPORTING it. It could mess up his head, I suppose.

So it's always good to be cautious.

Just to clarify, I was referring to the common soldiers such as the sailors in our U-boots, or the aircraft pilots, or the foot soldiers slogging throught the mud in Europe. It's well known that horrible things were done by certain individuals and organizations on all sides of the war. The vast majority though were just out there trying to stay alive while doing what their countries had told them was the right thing to do. I'm aware that you have a much different perspective than I do, and I respect that.

Of course it's just a game, but it can also illustrate the strange tricks that our minds can play on us. I often wonder how I would feel about firing a torpedo at a real merchant ship in a time of war. Would I feel the same sense of satisfaction at seeing or hearing the explosion? Would I feel horrified that I had probably just killed a bunch of merchant sailors and forced many others into the frigid North Atlantic? Would I be able to reconcile having both feelings at once?

I find it interesting that I can be so immersed in a game that I feel a real sense of urgency (or even fear) when being attacked, but am still able to easily dismiss my victims as imaginary digital constructs.
