You guys are WAY too hard on the graphics for DW. I bought DW right after I finished a short trip aboard an FFG, and was AMAZED at how well they'd captured the feel of things. They may not be the greatest graphics on the market, but they're not bad at all. Compared to Harpoon where all you have is tactical displays, the graphics are great.

I think the land definitely needs work, though. I've also noticed places which are geographically inaccurate, such as the port of Aden. It'd be nice to have more landmarks and things. I think that matters most for the airborne platforms, actually. Even so, it's still a beautiful simulation. It really isn't as bad as that.
