What have you learned from SH?

Before SH3 I knew next to nothing about U-boats, except they were used in WWII and had diesel and electric motors. Since playing I've learned many things - just a few being how fast and deep U-boats can travel, where their ports were, the number of crew required and their respective stations and have even learned some German. SH3 has also sparked research into the various systems on a U-boat, like the engines, ballast, survivor accounts, etc .

Between SH3, and Call of Duty, I've learned more about WWII than I did in high school. Makes me wonder if vid games could be used as teaching tools in schools, since most students would probably rather play video games than study.
