I'm surprised you feel that way. One of my pet peeves is the environmental modeling. I HATE how "bottom limited" in DW is in fact more like isothermal. it drives me NUTS. I wish that there was a way to interface a publically available climatological database, like Levitus (on which GDEM was based) and then have DW choose the SSP based on that. I mean, they get the charts from something like the ETOPO satellite elevation database. Surely they could draw on equivilents from the oceanographic community?

I dunno... maybe this is just because I'm a sonar geek, though.

I prefer to be able to play the game without a staff of several people to watch my sonar screens for me.
Heh, given my fascination with the theory of optimum search, my missions tend to run long, so I often wish I had someone who could cover for me while I got get a soda. :-)

I've gotten shot with more cruise missiles while I was snacking...
