Would you guys say CLOD has the potential to look better than WOP? While I think WOP looks better today because of its shaders and colour palette etc I beleive the underlying tech is not as advanced as CLOD's is.
Tech was left out of CLOD as it was nearing completion and we can all see why, it's just not finished. Oleg or Luthier stated that the water is a DX9 placement holder and that the water left out was a transparent effect that you could see through(imagine sub hunting with this). Add to that the dynamic weather and clouds that was also missed out to be added later (which will possibly effect the sea) then we have at least two items that will make this sim look stunning when implemented.
It's a shame it was released in the state it was, if they had more time these discussions would not even exist as all the features they had to drop before release would push this sim to another level.
