Danger From The Deep as an alternative to SH5

And, projects right out of the zip file look much better than what DftD has archieved. So, if you're going for a subsim, use Ogre, and I'll try to cooperate as well.

I don't agree with you in the "graphics area". Look at the water and you will see one difference between Danger From The Deep and SH3, the water it's like in SH5. Overall, SH3 looks better graphically speaking, but this is not the point, I know for sure that there are some rotten things that cannot be changed in SH3 or SH4, no matter how hard modders will try. Maybe concentrating to a new raw, uncorrupted and opened source code, like Danger From The Deep has, it can be a much more viable option.
