Dantenoc, I don't think they had a choice really. When someone made their SH3 pitch in the misty early parts of this millennium, I bet that DirectX 9.0c era graphics was a major seller. Submarine simulations has been made many times, and only better graphics is a seller for a new version. Otherwise we would all still be playing AOTD wouldn't we?
So lets say they didn't do the graphics properly? Okay, they could have cut out the 3d interior with no penalty to gameplay what so ever. But not chase cam... LOL? That is such a piece of cake to make ,you already HAVE the 3d-engine, the chase cam is just a repositioning of the player's viewport.
So what parts of the graphics should they have removed then?
Crew on deck?
Shadereffects on sea?
Particle effects on explosions?
Use generic ship models for all ship types?
Or use low poly models?
Not use textures?
