    So, they basically only do new tanks if they get contracted to do some.

    No, for example the T-72's and the T-62 where done on esim's own budged.

    Point is: you can only do so much in a working day, and If all your man-hours are dedicated to a project that a customer has paid for...It would be realy stupid to spend that time on vehicle models that will have no direct turnover. That is in fact, how capitalism works.

    If they have genuine spare time, putting in new vehicle models that MAY make the sim more attracktive and create an indirect turnover, is the way to go. But having "spare time" is a bad thing for a company.

    And by the way, the article Kualus linked on says THAT there will be other T-55 variants, not when :p

    ... The downside is that the community acts passive-aggressive to any VU that doesn't come from Germany.

    Would be astounding, last time I checked only a small minority of users seems to be from germany.

    There are also only 2 VU with german origin listed, with more comming from Spain, RF, US, UK, AUS...

    Another plausible reson is that they are greedy and want to exploit interested players to the maximum. That explanation seems very likely when you consider that you have to pay for some upgrades.

    Well, If you consider that ARMA III shipped at prizes around 50€, and add to that the Price of arma II, you are in the 100€ mark as well. BI offers also DLC you have to pay for...which can land you well above that rate.

    Are they greedy? I'd say no. But in good old capitalist fashion, they try to make a buck. Thas why the are a company.

    Same goes for esim.

    SB is sold for 115$, and received dozends of upgrades sinze 2007. You don't have to buy updates, and if you buy the latest, you have all "goodies" of the previous ones included. Hardly a rip off.
