I voted for "No" option.How "3D view" or "show dead platforms" options can be cheats?The only cheat in both SC and DW is the "Show truth".
Because,when you turn off both auto crewmen and "Show Truth" everything depends on your sonar operational skills only.And there is a situation when you can see only that you
are actually able to see due to your sonar operational skills.If you cannot operate the sonar well-you will not see anything sensible.I mean "Show dead platforms" or "3D view" bring very little or completely no help to you during gameplay.
The main idea of the discussed option is just to bring some fun to the very sophisticated,complicated and serious sims.People like admiring their Seawolf class submarines cruising through beautyfull water,like to know that this power is totally under their control.People like to see the results of their skilled engagemets-dead platforms,destroyed by their torpedoes or missiles.
Best regards,
