Arrrrrrrrr!
It's taking a big chance that people will not be interested in learning about something they know nothing about. We see some resistance to SH4 because the American sub program was shrouded in secrecy and therefore is less known to Europeans than the German U-Boat program. What captures people's imaginations sells. In order to capture their imagination there must be compelling reasons for curiosity about the simulation, based on some prior knowledge. Do people know enough about WWI U-boats to have that compelling curiosity? I do, but I'm plenty strange. Still I think there are rewards if Ubi is willing to take that chance.
I would welcome a WWI simulation of the quality of the SH series. I would be much less interested in WWIII lurking and gathering information, punctuated by "exciting" telephone cable splicing. It would take a lot of effort and cheap prices to entice me to bite on that one. I would buy the WWI simulation without any prompting at all.
