Simulators need to go MMO so they can have many years of continuous development. I can just imagine a full blown WWII ground-air-sea battle sim with many people joining in.

This would be good for FPS or RPG's but for sub sims????

You would be unable to use time compression. Imagine having to play at 1x TC. Also logging in and out, after spending hours getting into position for a torpedo shot, the ship you where about to fire at decided to log out .

So I cant see how it could be implemented.

After seeing how EA has completely porked every IP they've gotten their hands on, they're the last publisher I'd want touching a sub sim.
amen brother.... EA totally trashed the nascar sim community after it obtained the rights to the nascar name in 2004 from sierra/papyrus and their fantastic nascar2003 sim.... EA came out with their version which was and still is a total farce and is more or less a bumper car mario kart game and nothing more....

so i wouldnt want them to touch a known franchise like SH either...ubi just needs to pull their head out of their ass on the next one...

Do not over-estimate experience. It will save you some time, but also maybe get you going on the same (wrong?) road.

Nobody in the SH3 team had developed a sub sim before, or was really a walking encyclopedia of Submarine Warfare. But we learned.
