Great point - but honestly and unfortunatley, IF a company could get away with it - it would probably depend on how much of a market there would be for it! There was an "assinate JFK" sim not too long ago, alot of bad press, but published just the same.

Calling germans in general "Nazis" is the most adolecent comment I have ever heard. My wife is german. My father in law was in the Hitler youth. So does that make ne a Nazis or him even?
My Grandfather killed germans in norway. My Uncle sunk a U-boat of the St.Lawrence river(corvette). He never once called them nazis. They were well respected german sailors.
This is the attitude people get when they only read American History books. Jeesh,.....the lameness of it all. The Kreigsmarine had nothing to do with the Third Reich Politics.

Try reading Captain Langsdorff accounts of the battle of river plate (Graff Spee). He even speaks of Admiral Rader and his disgust for them.

Anyways, no game should force reflection of history upon someone. It is up to the individual user as to whether they can reflect on their in-game experience in relation to history. Obviously, there are many here sensitive enough to reflect on the fact that the action in the game, although in no way evil or immoral in and of itself, reflects upon past actions that were very much real. For others, they would never make the connection. Even if the game displayed a message every time you sank a ship that said, "What you just did was evil. You are a Nazi," they would not be brought an inch closer to deeper understanding or sensitivity to history, but nor would they be any closer to being a Nazi in real life.

Great Jumping Jehosaphat, I can't go outside to work on the fence for three hours before someone posts a thread first asking if this is a Nazi U-boat simulation (the goosestep response is classic btw) and then comparing the current administration to Adolf Hitler's regime. Besides the fact that the insinuation is insulting to about 48% of the US population it is a political fight, something verbotten here.

Closed Gentlemen.

Fencer, if you feel compelled to ask a question concerning the game and its game design I advise you to ask it in a way that doesn't insult several thousand gamers. It seems you have already made a decision about the game before you posted this.
