DW is showing its age. It's rearing its ugly graphics.

A simulator is not and end in itself, its just a brick in giving the player the "simulated experience" of being there.
And that means that even if you stare at 2d stations all day long, you want those 2d stations to be rendered nicely, you want the sounds you hear on broadband to be realistic. You want to hear realistic emergency "dive dive" voices, alarms etc....
You want to be able to 3d-navigate a virtual submarine etc, etc, etc....
When you look throught the periscope you want to see a nice rendered ocean, nice clouds, rain, etc... and nice ships not the 2d blocks we have right now.
There are so many things that could improve the game experience in DW that
just boggles the mind.
Some people don't want to accept the fact that DW was done as a low cost project. It was never to be a game, and if you look at the time Sub Command came out, well that game is much more polished than DW will ever be.

You hardly can compare a flight simulator and a sub simulator: the people aboard a sub will hardly see a 2D sun for months lol. Even the commander will pass very little of his time at the periscope station... for sure he won't be able to see his boat from different angles like you actually can in DW... won't be able to see explosions below the surface either... He will need his ears (sensors) to know what happens. That means, DW already offers more than due on graphics.

What are realistic songs on BB ?
What is a realistic "dive dive" signal ?
What do you mean with realistic alarms ?

I second you when you say DW is unfinished. Even SC had to be patched several times to come to a good level (V1.08 ?)
For this, there is a reason to be angry with Sonalyst, at least for those who spent 60 $ like me.
