There are a lot of good points being made regarding the Pacific versus Atlantic theaters and I think they all factor in together under the biggest factor of all...money. As far as how many sub sims have come out over the years, I do believe the scale tips towards the Atlantic theater.

I said in my last post there were two Pacific theater sims released in the last 13 years. Keep in mind one of them was for DOS with 2D graphics. Given how long 3D has been out I think it's fair to understand why some of us would like to see more focus on the Pacific since only SH4 has been developed to fill the bill.

But all that aside, I would like to add it would be nice (but probably not as profitable) if UBISoft would come out with a sim that includes both theaters for a change. That way there would no longer be this leap frog issue where one side is pained because the other side has the latest bells and whistles which they want too.

Hopefully there will be a SH6 for the Pacific if SH5 goes over well. SH5 looks like it will be the first departure from the basic interaction model since the beginning of sub sims. It will be interesting to see how you will transition from walking around the sub to using the main action stations. I'm sure they will retain the quick keys like F1, F2, F3, etc. On the other hand, it would be funny to see someone slapped upside the head with a hanging knockwurst while heading to battle stations!
