Instead they're trying to act like this was their big plan and that by cutting features they can focus on what's left - not that they can even get the Type VII modelled correctly if the threads here are anything to go by.
This is my main concern as well. I spent last night wondering if I was too harsh yesterday when I learned the game was going to end in 1943. I decided, no, if anything I went way too easy on UBI.

If they had come out and said, "Guys, we simply don't have the money or the resources allocated to render the entire war, but this is what we've done, because we want to get at least one aspect right. Oh, and we do hope in the future we can have additional content to finish out the war. We can't make promises, but it is our fervent hope this will be done." Then, okay, I think a lot more people, including myself, would be onboard with that.

But that's not what they did.

They just came out and told a bunch of hardcore subsimmers, "Meh, the war is pretty much over in 1943 anyway so live with it." Instead of explaining the reason, they just blew it off like it wasn't important.

It wasn't what they did: cutting the game off in '43. If there were budgetary problems then we would all understand that. That's business. Get over it.

It's HOW they did it that rankles. It was their patronizing attitude in the interview that we're too ignorant to understand the war materiel dynamics of the Battle of the Atlantic that jerked my chain the wrong way. And, no, I'm not the only one who feels this way.
