The thing is, that with modern naval combat, so much is done over the horizon. I'd rather have them spend the money on a really good radar, sonar, model, along with a really good AI, then blow me away with graphics when I'm just going to be disappointed with the content. For example, Janes Fleet Command. F-14s carrying Harpoons? Uhm... no.
I want my simulation to be a fun, playable, SIMULATION where I can learn something about naval operations. Someone wrote that ever since Doom the game industry has basically been making the same video game over and over again, and I think there's a lot to be said for that. Games were more fun and original when the screen shots weren't the main marketing device.
