Ubisoft have made a commercial business decision to cater for the most popular era....WWII ATO.

I doubt they feel the need especially in the present economic climate to highten the chances of a potentially poor selling game.

Might I suggest you try Shells of Fury. I hear that's a decent WWI sub game.

Exactly. It's as simple as that. Also, to many people, World War 1 is synonymous with infantry battles in the mud and dog fights in the air.

With IIA, IIB and IID and a little Imagination there's WWI.

WW2 just sells. Simple as that. For some it is and was a very real war as they know or knew someone involved with it. It is a subject of great study interest. Although it is billed as a world war in many respects it changed the world mentally and materially. People will pay money to study it and experience it via simulations, etc. Furthermore, if it were not for improved graphic engines and such the genre would probably go away. Improvement in computing capability will certainly maintain development of more WW2 based games. Just the way the mentality and the markets work concerning WW2.

The IIA was the first sub of WW1 , so there you have it .

Rich,
In the SH4 Mods Workshop, iambecomelife, Keltos and I are working on a WWI mod for SH4, it is still in it's infancy though, we don't even have all of the subs we need yet.

But it IS in the works.
