I absolutely agree, but the series has been attempting to do that since SH3 came out.

Actually, what gets me the most is that there is no competition to the Silent Hunter Series. MY biggest wish is that we DO get a professional indy outfit dedicated to making a top class title. Lower sales could be offest by higher prices but I don't think that is really any problem. Simmers tend to be an extraordinarily supportive bunch when they feel there is something there to be supportive of. At the very least it would force everyone to up their game.
