Since the #1 problem for sub simmers is the niche character of the genre, why not put some effort in expanding the community catching other areas ?

For example:

Sonalyst added helo, airplane and a frigate to the playable units as a development of Sub Command to Dangerous Waters (I don't know what the real intention was). Why don't do something similar in the SH series ?

Dangerous Waters is IMO not suitable to route flight-simmers into sub simulators, because of the too raw graphics. I guess that while this doesnt matter for an hardcore sub-simmer, "what you see", 3D, landscape and all, is vital for a flight-simmer. Further, the playable frigate in DW is the most difficult unit to man. Further, DW has been poorly adverzised.

Because of this, SH could be more suitable to drive flight-simmers to our genre, by making the airplanes playable.
Would that happen, this yould yeld the wanted good results:
- more sales for SH
-> more add-ons
-> higher chance of developments
-> faster patches
