I’ve been researching France in World War 2 recently, and I stumbled upon this article on JSTOR:

https://www.jstor.org/stable/286380?casa_token=HrDISj647xoAAAAA%3A4r0lrbG6dLMbOFV1mHpvWIxLmi5kgJmFmZ_TYY5Ct12HpfBVa87FyqGvcP00vs2G1JuM3ol2qcQ

Unfortunately, my regular free JSTOR account cannot access this.

Please let me know if you have access to this article in any way. Thank you!

I just got the HTC vive and picked up this game, and I must say it really is amazing (esp. for us WW2 geeks). You are in a U-boat during WW2. It can be single or multiplayer up to 4 people (some ship features like loading torps. can be put on auto if you don’t have a full crew). I must say the realism is amazing. The game does not assign you a role, but to be efficient the people playing need to split up resp. to complete the mission. You are talking to these people, and running all over the ship to get the job done. It is so realistic the other day when I was playing I had a bit of flatulence and my first thought was “can’t do that here, will stink up the ship”, just to remember a couple seconds later “uh, I am in my living room!”.

It is not just the underwater stuff. You can go above deck and fire the 88 to take down merchant shipping, or fire the AA to knock down enemy aircraft. When the boat is getting depth charged you have to seal the leaks and pump out the excess water.

I am not big into gaming systems. XBOX and the playstation were not a big deal, and although I owned an xbox I almost never played it. VR is different. 20 years from now people are going to look at the present gaming systems the same we look at 1970s ‘Pong’.

The Italian ones are new to me, only because they were never discussed. However there are plenty of records of the ones in action during the Phillipines and South Pacific Campaigns (JFK, etc.) which gave them plenty of heroic press.

@ithkrall:

Well done, you have shown me that people did go to Iran

That doesn’t mean it was a wise or clever decision considering the political situation at the time.

Now if you put it that way, its not very clever to be born as a woman in a muslim country, because how they treat their women in general.

Also the UK government advice white and jewish people to stay out of Denmark, because of the danish muslim terrorists dont love infidels.

You are right. And that merely reinforces my theory. After eight straight years of checking this thread, awaiting my response, he finally grew disillusioned and disappointed. So much so that he canceled his membership to this forum. :(

Now, one could reasonably ask, “Why would he have been awaiting my response for eight straight years when I haven’t even been here that long?” Well you see, on some level he sensed that I should be here, and that I’d be showing up here sooner or later. He evidently felt that “sooner” was more likely than “later,” so that I could respond to his thread. Which, let the record reflect, I did. Eventually. Better late than never, right? :)

This topic will submerge like a Tanker hit by a German Submarine.

Ah, but like a Type XXI U-boat, this topic emerged after having been submerged eight straight years! :o Maybe it will submerge again, only to surface in another eight years. :D
