I agree. And about the "best" part, I think that "best" is what makes someone enjoy the game more

Stiebler.

I understand. Maybe the seafloor was very heavy for some computers. BTW, you should see it; it's a work of art. Pitty that the modder Tanker IV is not around this game anymore.

But everyone is entitled to make mistakes. The GW team has given us - among other things - a unique graphical and sound environment that makes you feel that this is the next version of the game. Not that I do not appreciate all the teams of Rub, IuB, NYGM that have devoted their free time to give us users a "global" solution, specialised for every taste.
