Actually, I wonder if it might not be feasible to model the entire world (like Dangerous Waters), and focus on multiple nations submarines (Royal Navy, US Navy, Kriegsmarine, Soviet Navy, Japanese Navy, Italian Navy) , even if it is at the expense of the variety of other shipping (it really doesn't matter to me much if there are 5 types of merchants or 15 types, and similarly, I don't really care if each countries navy has only 1 or 2 examples of each warship class. A cruiser sinks like a cruiser).

I would say that SH5 should port over the existing ship models, add new subs from different countries, and focus on the realism and gameplay aspects. It might even generate broader international appeal and sales that way.

If you think about it, SHIII and SHIV already model the entire world - and Dangerous Waters doesn't, at least not in one open environment.
