My comments are from perspective of the
inexperienced player who keeps returning to DW already more than once. This is rather complex simulation and learning curve is quite high. There is lot of interesting stuff to do and learn/investigate either in manual or at this forum. This is its charm and big plus.
My only apprehension preventing me from staying with this sim for longer are very rudimentary graphics, which now look even more simplistic and crude than in the day it came out. In the past I have played (if only briefly) most of modern naval/sub simulations and there the graphics did not bother me as much. Perhaps then expectations were not as high as what they are now (we were spoiled
).No denying, that having eye pleasing SH series around, makes DW look little like ugly duckling. I wish this title was more open for more more profound graphic improvements. Then again, perhaps I was not enough around to know all there is to know about all possibilities that exist.
Having said all this I still consider DW in the same league as most interesting and lasting combat sim titles and quietly hoping for some kind of "renaissance" and reinvigorated interest (like Falcon BMS as an example).
