If I were Sonalyst I would make a DW expansion

[Castout]

You know DW is a game without competition now and in the near future.

Despite its rather obsolete graphics(yet sufficient) it is a FANTASTIC game of naval warfare with a strong technical simulation pull.

It's been 4 years and I still have it on my computer and am still playing it from time to time.

Now I can't help feeling that a couple more playable platforms plus updated 3D models for some of the AI only platforms will make this game really really much more tempting.

For example adding the Duke FF which is the British OHP equivalent, the Russian OHP equivalent which I think is the Krivak FF and more diesel subs both allies and red like the Australian Collins class, The German Type 212(Italian, German, etc) and the Russian new Lada class SSK plus the Nimrod maritime reconnaisance and ASW patrol aircraft, the Tu-95 bear maritime patrol and ASW plane. Can you just imagine the appeal?
A more ambitious expansion perhpas could include the Oscar II and Typhon and the Ohio, Trafalgar as playable complete with launchable nuclear ballistic missiles.
I'm sick of stupid dumb games that offers nothing but wowing graphics. DW like its predecessor SC is one of the very few smarter game out there.

I really can't see why this game is commercially failing. Perhaps an expansion which bring more playable platforms would make this game much more appealing.

I know about Reinforce alert mod or the Alfa Tau mod which add numerous playable platforms using preexisting interface but it's just not the same.

I'm sorry if this thread bother you as it seems that there have been many other similar threads asking/hoping for a DW expansion but I need to get this off my chest. And I know the income from PC gaming may not be sufficiently large to entice Sonalyst to commit its resources away from government project but this game rocks.

I would buy DW+expansion even if it costs me US$50.00. Just get it as bug free as possible. And as realistically as possible. I would even buy it at US$100.00 like SB Pro PE but get it done right.

Now I feel somewhat better having gotten this off my chest.
