I think that so far there are still way many more people playing SH3 rather than UBM. Yes, Lurker has done a fantastic job with OM, but still UBM is a long way from reaching the level of a modded SH3, and modding it in some aspects is not as easy as with SH3.

For example, if I would have been able to port over my optics mod and the slide-out compass from SH3 to UBM, I would have already forgotten SH3.

But I can't, and I don't like playing UBM without that mod, so I'm more or less stuck with SH3. However, I like the US interface in SH4, so I play US submarines gladly with it.

I bet that many more people share similar views, plus there is always the hardware matter: People with older computers can't shift to SH4 easily.

All that reduced number of players means of course, statistically, also a reduced number of modders.

My 2 cents
