I voted for the MMOG for the same cash-flow related reasons stated elsewhere, but also for the sheer fun of pitting yourself against human opponents. Just look at this forum...can you imagine the nail-biting fights people with our usual knowledge and experience of subsims would have?

There's a lot of issues doing 'real war' style online games, though, especially if you're going for serious realism. As a former player of WWII Online I will happily state that spending half your spare time walking or riding to someplace you might see some action kinda blows.

Cost wise, 14.99 a month is perfectly reasonable. If you're not willing to give up 3 movie rentals in a 30 day period, you probably aren't that keen on playing the game anyway.

In my heart of hearts, though....I want DC2. I haven't played a decent surface ship sim in years, simply because I can't remember when the last one was released.

Oh...an additional point about the MMOG idea...if you think you get attached to your boat on stock SH IV...you'd be amazed how personal your virtual vehicle can become when real people shoot at it.
