Horsa, Glowworm, et al,

I think such beautiful models would bring my poor old 32 MB video card to its knees!

For most surface actions I believe the current level of detail is just barely adequate, mostly because one is usually several thousand yards away. I have rarely had a problem determining target angle, at least when I could see them - Oh Please, somebody break the 12,000 yard visibility limit! The biggest problem I have with the stock DC models is that they look like toy boats. The hulls look like wedges chopped from a block of wood, gun turret shapes and locations are inaccurate and the model designers did not know what a gun director was. I would really like to see operable signal flags and signal lights, running lights, search lights and rotating radar antennae, to name a few.

One can but hope...
