I don't remember when it was that I bought the v1.5 Add-On, but it was ~years~ (2012??) after it came out.
Yes, me too!! I refused to go there for a long time. But, broke down as more players went to v1.5 and I found my original mods being obsolete with the older versions of the game. I felt I had to keep up with the game.

But here's the kicker, the plan all along was to do what they did!! SH4 was designed to offer the "Nazi's in the Pacific" from the very beginning....for an additional cost to the player! Some marketing accountant convinced them to make the game accordingly......after a year, offer an additionally priced Add-on to bring in extra revenue! The proof is in the game files themselves! The American Pacific Campaign game was "short sheeted" for the idea of pushing out the German side of play already developed from SHIII. And, we bought it like sheep going to slaughter.
