    Funny thing is that in SHIV I could swear I hear the voice of Joe from the Family Guy.

But for English-speaking people anywhere else, they get the message "I'm in a boat full of Americans", which breaks immersion, because Americans didn't crew U-boats!

    I wish they'd use German-accented English for the English-language voiceacting. Then everyone would get the message "I'm in a boat full of Germans", which is good!
    Very well said. When I heard them in English the first time my jaw hit the floor. I quickly changed it to German.

    I agree 100% and I am an American. Straight out English really does spoil it.

    I wouldn't mind the American accent too much if was a generic one, but you can hear the one guy in the trailer speaking in a southern accent and it was completely awful. I'm very glad they're including an option for German.
