I play with the German voices, I don't speak German, and I still have the feeling that the German voice intonation of that line is way too "Piratey". Just a feeling. It's awful. Especially when I have to hear it every 5 minutes.

Maybe the way it's phrased. Talk about lack of military brevity code.

As for the last part of your post comparing this to flight sims...developers are smart. They know that there is a niche market for these types of games. Those who are going to buy, will buy a flawed product (although Ubi is really testing the limit with this piss poor product). Those who aren't interested in the genre won't buy even if it is flawless.

It's a lot different from an FPS where extra effort will attract more casual buyers. There comes a point of dimishing marginal returns from Ubisoft's SH5 work, and they reach that point, and stop there to let the modders do the rest.
