Still, the though of commanding a SSBN and trying to get into firing position undetected and launching a nuclear strike is appealing.

Been a long time Harpoon player. There is really no comparison between H3 and DW. DW is a simulator where the player is in command of a single platform, by controlling its major stations. H3 is more of a task force/fleet level simulator where the player can control multiple platforms and units as part of a whole operation. Instead of concentrating on the mission of one ship, you could command something as large as a whole Carrier Battle Group as well as other assets in the theatre of operations.

H3 doesn't have a 3d display but the main interface is modeled after real navy combat information displays.

H3 may not have the graphics of DW, and certainly has a steeper learning curve , but I would consider it a step up from DW in the complexity of its game play. I don't play these type of games for the graphics anyway. They are nice though

Both are good at what they do. They just do different things.
