What those /\ guys said

Furthermore, from what i saw of that
last video, I got the impression that more time and attention was being spent on the nitty gritty details, rather than trying to model everything under the sun. Rather than model more than the VII, spend time getting the VII right. Rather than spend time implementing the Allied's advanced anti-sub equipment in the later years of the war, concentrate on the war up to '43.
If SH5 does well financially, then we get to see more content. Sounds good to me. If it doesn't... well, the market (and Ubi) have spoken.
I'm hoping the "promise" that the modders will be happy with SH5 will ring true, too. Look at what they've done with SH3 and SH4. If SH5 doesn't have more official content provided in the future, at least we'll still have the ability to mod it ourselves.
