No. DW is a
modern day submarine simulator. Of course it is more advanced than SH3. SH3 is about a WW2 U-boat....perhaps you would like the dev team to go back in time and install modern sonar suites on every German boat?
Of course there are things that it misses out but, quite frankly, if lacking the ability to check the salinity of ocean water makes the game more arcade then I am quite happy to be a quake bunny.

This... is... well, if we allow the "Subsim" definition to range wider, I can imagine DW on the centerline, with SHIII on the edge, leaning towards more of an arcade game. If DW is Microsoft FS, SHIII is Falcon.

In my mind a simulator must simulate more than mere equipment, There should be atmoshere as well and SH3 has this in spades. Why haven't I bought DW yet? Probably because I really can't be bothered staring at little dials and read-outs any more. SH3 is a very good sim. It has a hell of a lot of depth in it - far more than you seem to realise.
You are talking about a World War two U-boat not a modern day sub. The aproach is so different you might as well compare a carton of milk to an Iceberg.
