This is entirely the issue. I doubt that the basics of the campaign are that much more complicated than with the previous two installations - adding new convoys or bases and so forth was relatively straight forward and I imagine it's not that much harder now.
But for an extended campaign you would need new ships for all the main players and the new ordnance for them. How about radar, u-boat snorts? New playable boats would pretty much be essential. Later marks of the VII are probably not impossible to get in there but would people settle for a Type IX with a Type VII interior?
I think a basic, modded campaign is probably doable right now but a full user revamp will be some time away. I would say at least 2 years from now. With SH3 we already had - in the base game - virtually everything we needed. With SH5 a lot of it will have to be created from scratch. |
