This is a game I've been thinking of making for a while, but I don't have
the rescources to create the animations... I need a futuristic 3D sub, a
3D Destroyer, and moving water. Can anyone help
Blender is not better than Maya, but it will turn out to be very easy to use once you learn how to use it, AND try comparing $0 (Blender is free and open source) to $1000 (The cheapest of the Autodesk Maya packages)!
Have a look at the wonderful water picture I made in Blender(It took about 5 Minutes to make, and half an hour to raytrace with my slow compy)!:
