Are you you rooting for failure for SH5?

And it was not only due to bugs...the STRATEGY didnt fit the exspectations. Many players waited for SH3 v2.0 and NOT for a pacific theater. So the game sold badly. Clear to me. If they would have done it the other way round...SH4 with a better looking atlantic theater AND monsun boats...and AFTERWARDS release the u.s. subwar in pacific theater as an addon...this would have worked better!!! 100% sure.

Says you. I and other people fond of the PTO waited a little over 11 years for that buggy piece of crap. let me say that again....

OVER ELEVEN YEARS WAIT!

The real reason why it didn't do so well is because it was a rush job and was released with a ton of bugs, many of which are still unresolved. First impressions are everything, and when Ubi drew back the curtains to show a bucktooth freckled redhead with pigtails and pigeon toes instead of a hot blond with big firm breasts, that pretty much killed the game right there.

It was LONG over due for a PTO game. Infact, this series was STARTED by a PTO game.
