I personally wouldn't mind at all if we didn't see another WWII sub sim for 3 or 4 years. At that point, either Ubisoft could release another one, hopefully having learned something from the SH5 fiasco, or there may even be a new interested Publisher by then.
I think the last thing we need is 'Silent Hunter 6 Fiasco in the Pacific' about 12 months down the line.

No, whats needed is not another WW II subsim.
Whats needed are core improvements to the gaming experience of WW II subsims. And this is NOT ABOUT GRAPHICS. How about freaking improving multiplayer ? Giving the ability to several players to man a sub ? Or how about having a new destroyer command ? Human controlled destroyers protecting AI convoys against human controlled wolfpacks.
Ubisoft has clearly demonstrated that they could care less about improving the product than milking it to its death. Thats what they've done with SH 4 and SH 5. The giant quantum leap between SH 2 and SH 3 has not been replicated either with SH 4 or Sh 5. And even so, SH 2+ Destroyer Command is a step up in terms of multiplayer experience over Sh3/4 and 5. There is only so much you can do against a stupid AI. Even a clever AI at the end is predictible, something a human player is not.
