as I said, I understand their point of view and motives and I sympatize with them.
(and do note that I said it was “a bit hypocritical”, not “totally fucking hypocritical”).

While this logic sounds very solid and true, it is based on a totally wrong premise, and that is that a game like WoT would form its audience’s understanding of history, war and tank warfare. Actually it is going along the same lines as “ego shooters produce killers”.
.
So while that statement of the Munster tank museum sounds very reasonable, it is actually quite some bullcrap produced by the typical German egghead who knows everything better and always has to dig deeper than anybody else for a universal, ever lasting meaning in everything life offers.
.
Even the concept of drawing people to the tank museum via WoT to eventually make them look beyond the extreme simplifications of that game and understand what war really is about is far fetched. People can (and many do) see the true and ugly face of war on TV everyday.
.
At the Munster tank museum, they apparently see the picture when looking at the game, but cannot figure its meaning. Or they seem to, but are drawing the wrong conclusions. To work as game, WoT has to simplify grossly. So why for heavens sake not let them take some measurements from tanks being exposed there to make them look more like their real counterparts? Nope, life is hard, war is cruel, and people need to understand that, got it! Jaaaaa-Wollll, Herr Oberleutnant!
.
I am German, and I know this people of mine. Those people at the tank museum should chill a little. It’s the same kind of attitude that would never watch and even less enjoy an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, because “violence is not a solution”. I watch such a movie to be entertained, and all the while I am having myself entertained by it, I am well aware of the fact that it is completely fictional and unreal. So what.

Let it sink into you:

Millions interested even if with a warped preception >>>>>> only thousands interested with a good perception
Especially, when those thousands you already have.
Sky, I never got you…
BTW you one of those “German tanks are UP Soviets are OP people? “
