Now I'm not bashing SH3 just stating hard cold economical facts, if a game does not sell well its soon passed over for greener pastures. That will include any Ex Packs or later versions. It wouldnt surprise me at all if SH4 was the LAST SH version ever if sale figures followed SH3 figures.

To stop this from being the last ever SH version, any means to increase sales MUST be taken into account. 1 of those is a Solid Onliner capability with diverse player interaction and should not be over looked.
My guess for the low sales numbers is that people just dont like WW2 submarine sims. I mean, the sim ppl buy them, but only the sim ppl. And the multiplayer wouldn´t have made the sale numbers much bigger. Just my guess.
