Just read the Review about "Whirlwind over Vietnam" by 20mm and an idea suddenly sprang up in my head.
After all this time and with DW being patched to 1.04 now, how bout doing a new Review ... sort like DW - Revisited? Could be a Review just about stock DW (patched to 1.04 of course) or it could even include the LwAmi Mod in some way.
Anyway, reviewing takes some time to do it right and I'm currently pretty short on that to do a throughout review of all platforms in DW in an appropriate manner. So my idea is that people from our little community pick one or more platforms and write a review about that, if two people do the same platform those reviews could be merged. Once all platforms are covered the complete review can be given to Neal for posting (I'm sure he would be interested) and maybe other sim websites like SimHQ are interested as well.
Platforms and Facts that should be covered :
Akula Class
Kilo Class
Los Angeles Class
Seawolf Class
FFG
MH-60
P-3C (Reviewer : OneShot?) Good Things about the platform
Bad Things about the platform
Graphics/Sound in the Stations
Graphics/Sound 3D View
Whatever else comes to mind relevant to the platform at hand, like bugs (with/without workarounds) and the like
Aside from that one separate Review should do Installation, Options and Moddability. Maybe even one Review about the Mission Editor (incl. of course both the good points and the shortcommings).
So what do you guys think ? Anybody interested ?
I'd offer to do the P-3 and unless nobody else wants to do that, to bundle all the stuff together and bring it into an presentable format.
Oh, on a second note ... I started a Wiki over at the CADC, we could use that for this project as well ... just a thought. However simple Word Docs (or similar) would do just as well (actually better in the beginning, so the collection is easier).
Cheers
