SCS didn't feel like making it have its own 3D model.

On the whole, the "cut corners" are easily rectifiable by SCS or user mods, so I'm glad the core engine is in fact fantastic.

It's a carryover from Sub Command. Some models are duplicated - no big deal really. Most of the time you won't see them anyway.

But still, if those could be improved, the game would benefit from a more "actractive" look...

We need realistic models in this game, I llook at them all the time in the 3d window whilst im waiting for the exciting stuff to happen. THank the gods of virtual undersea warfare that we have guys like xabbarus etc, just look at the models in scx and DW is a big step backwards. Why they never throw the model makers a few quid and incorperated them into DW beats me
