DW doesn't have this trigger to customers.
It doesn't make sense, years ago cold war sims sold very well.
Sierra Fast Attack for instance has 2d stations (in svga resolution !!!!) that are more "real" than what we get in DW.
Even Silent Hunter I had 2d stations that are more "real" than DW's.
Really there is no hiding, DW was first and foremost a technology demonstrator for the US Navy.
It was never developed as a game, and therefore never received the attention to detail it deserved to be marketed as a game for the general video game player.
Dont' think I hate DW, in fact I like it a lot, even moreso with RA or Alfa Tau but you must realise that what we have is basically an unfished game.
