Irondog, it's sad to say, but if it's not a FPS, it will probably stay on the back-burner forever.

I've seen more than one thread on these very boards that ask HTC to incorporate playable infantry, to bring a FPS aspect to a flight sim, of all things!!!

If you take the entire Video game market, everything from sports to sims, from Home-console boxes to PC's, you'll find that sub sims are the black sheep of the family, in terms of sales.

Ubisoft, like any other company, is gonna take care of it's primary cash-cows first.

Aces High IS a FPS. It just happens to be based in aircraft and limited ground vehicles.

O.K. Ubisoft has the devs working on the 1.3 patch.The patch thing has been going on since I can remember.It is the trend these days.We submariners espicially have the problem of sub sims simply don't sell well enough for the company to make any money.Once the patch comes out and everything settles down,and the modders put the finishing touches on it,this old Swede is going to keep it on the hard drive a long time,as I don't think Ubisoft is going to venture into the submarine simulations anytime soon.It's all about money,and my stance from now on will be six months after the sim goes gold,then,and ony then,will I consider purchasing it.
