Would Ubi buy a historical campaign?

[Hornet]

Hi Everyone,

I have a question to ask the membership here and I'm hoping some of you might be able to tell me if I'm wasting my time or really on to something. Some of you might be familiar with the Steel-Sharks. Well, I've written several historical campaigns for SH3 and we are playing one of them at our Steel-Sharks website. I've spent a long time looking up convoy routes, convoy makeups, and other data on the internet about these convoys before I scripted them into my campaign. Its been exhaustive work. I have close to 500 historical convoys just through mid 1942. Many of the great campaigns are in there, Norway, Operation Torch, and others. The only thing I don't have is the Med campaign scripted in, but I'm working on the research now.

I began to wonder if Ubi would actually purchase this campaign from me and release it as a patch. But of course I also knew that Sh5 was coming and they may not want to bother. So I decided it was worth a shot and I tried calling Ubi and talking to one of their designers. I left two messages and they never returned my calls. So should I just give up or keep trying? Is this something the Subsim community would want or do most players just want to play the stock campaign and not care about playing one that has historical convoys in it with accurate escorts?

Just wondering guys, what do you think? I know Sh5 has historical convoys in it, but I kind of laughed when I heard they only have 200 or so of them.....

I think they could have at least returned my call and told me they weren't interested.....
