Why are WWII subsims popular and modern subsims not?

I think the mentioned issues here give a good overview. Maybe it's a mixture between the romantic section of WWII (and there are more WWII naval movies than cold war ones) and the lack of emotion in DW.

Perhaps only a community sim could replace DW since it seems that commerical vendors have no interest.

IMO a good approach would be to have a modular appraoch: A naval simulation engine, a 3D/physics engine and so on and then various subprojects might provide plattforms etc.

But probably there are not enough people willing to do it since the communiy is rather small...
