There were no mods for Aces of the Deep and Silent Hunter 1 to speak of, and their strong sales were the commercial basis for SH2, SH3, and on.

It's probably more reasonable to say that the sorts of people who reside in subsim (i.e. the uber realism junkies) would never have seen a sim done to the level of detail they like were it not for the modders.
That might be something to consider with SH5. Developers have
never built the sim to be a 'true' sim based on the wealth of historical reference materials available, so there's probably little point in hoping they will any time soon.
