Default UBI have any grudges with the Destroyer Command

I suddenly understood why not UBI Development Destroyer Command,Is UBI does not want to profit?And money have any grudges?

Only one reason: that is, and games, "Destroyer Command" any grudges against them!

I imagine it just didn't sell enough to merit continuing. It'd be nice to see an updated version that could interface with Silent Hunter. Be nice to win the lottery too, and probably about as likely.

Use SH5 engine development DC2, low cost, even if the didn't sell enough, do not lose money。

W_clear, why don't you do some market research, draw up a business plan, and a sales pro forma, and submit it to Ubisoft?

I say not enough people bought Destroyer Command to make it profitable but if you know something we don't, go for it.

If people don't buy it, they don't make it. Of course, we're still waiting for that other company to come along and make a better destroyer simulation.... still waiting....

I imagine them doing few expansions for SH5...


First they release an expansion for all U-boat types and the missing years.

...and we hear: All this is BS , they could have done it on release, all they care about is big $$$, I'm gonna keep my money, blablabla...


Let's say we're lucky and they release another expansion for surface ships.

...and we hear: another 30$ no way I'm not gonna buy it when it should have been done on release, Ubi suits you really piss me off big time, blablabla...


And Neal (and a many of us too) will still be waiting...

Seeing as we have some sales numbers from SH2/3/4 going around... do we have those for DC?

Oh, and, if a new DC is ever made, I'd be making sure that at least everyone in the 24th is buying it. It'd be an opportunity to revive the old times of SH2/DC that we can't lose.

Cheers

...maybe the mods will make some Destroyers, Cruisers and BBs playable in Champaign like in Sh4...

The Bismarck was build for Convoy hunting in the Atlantic....
