If Ubisoft don't make a profit with this there are NO MORE SUBSIMS!

Yeah... not so much. Silent Hunter is not "the genre", as I've said elsewhere. It is the dominant franchise in a very niche market. If the SH series folded tomorrow, another developer would eventually move in to exploit the gap. It might take 5 years, it might take 10, but it would happen without question.
I'm not prepared to reinforce bad habits on Ubisoft's part out of some sense of loyalty or obligation.
And you know, Silent Hunter 3 is still here, it's still incredible, and it's still being actively modded. Why, just take a look in the mods forum - right now there's work being done on a fully modelled interior engine room! In 2010! Incredible! I don't feel any pressing need to downgrade to a game featuring only Type VIIs and 2/3rds of the war. I'm sure Ubi won't miss my £45 either.
