Reading all the posts in this thread, Falcon 4.0 comes to mind. At its initial release the standard-bearer in terms of realism (though with a dynamic campaign), but also with many bug. Maybe the program that has broken Microprose's back (which is a shame, really).
I see many parallels to DW - at its core a very good, but still unfinished game that is one of its kind, but isn't supported by its publisher anymore (although this time for a different reason), and like Falcon, it has an active modding community.
To get to my point: Actually, I wouldn't mind if a bunch of modders got together and brought out a completely overhauled version of DW, much à la Falcon 4.0 Allied Force. If they could make some money (though they'd have to buy the license in the first place), a lot of the modding effort would be rewarded financially. I would definitely buy it (as I did with F4AF)
