I believe I am on record stating the same since day one of the SH5 announcement

i believe they made a repair patch to improve the game and needed a way to recover the cost of doing this so in order to create some justification to "sell" it they had to call it an expansion and not a patch.

following this train of thought, i believe they asked themselves what could we do that was differtent enough to say its something new? well they can add 2 uboats and throw together a few quick campaign files for them and say "look its uboats now"

i will never be convinced it wasnt something along these lines because of how little german content was in this supposed german expansion.

dont get me wrong, its worth the $10 i paid just for the game improvements and they could delete all the german content (what little there is) and i would still buy it but if any new expansion for sh5 to add american content is done with the same lack of effort used to add german content in the ubm expansion then please dont bother. i only want it if it has some real effort behind it so itreally does add something to the game.

also i dont think this was the devs making these decisions but the ubi suits calling these shots as to budget and time which is why the devs (who im sure wanted to do more) were very limited in what they could do.
If I'm to be totally honest......this is possibly the best response on the topic I have read .......I concur 100%
