Have a look a fs9, was a huge hit, purely based on the ability to add-on, using standard templates, and high detailed models, they made it into a cult. I for one would love to see the DW community expand, but I think the restrictions imposed dont allow for such expansion.
Sure id love play every ship for every country, but thats not possible, what i was originally trying to get across is the fact that sub-surface gameplay is focused on alot more than above, meaning, one surface ship, the FFG, which is great, and does it's job, but the need is there for DDG, or CG, on both sides.
The editor is great, im not focusing on that, but like a good salad, if you leave out the tomato's, cheese, and lettuce, it's pretty bare.

Captcav, I have to admit that I agree with a few of your points.
I do feel left out in the cold by a lack of support, namely the clampdown on mods and some weird issues that still plague me (why does the game disable my 5.1 surround sound?). The dated graphics don't help either; you may all say what you will but IMHO they detract from the immersion factor.
But truthfully we exist in the epitome of a niche market, and as DW was not destined to be a real cash cow, we have to make due with what we have been given. Despite my above gripes I still play and
love DW. Multiplayer is especially a riot. I would agree about the stale platforms but recently I have been playing with all autocrew disabled which seems to have opened up a whole new barrel of monkeys. LWAMI is great fun too.
To borrow from Churchill, Dangerous Waters is the worst naval sim we have, except for all the others.
And there are currently none.
