game looks like shit on my 24" WS monitor
running in a window is a little better but still, shit that is a bit smaller is still shit
game is still good though
is there any graphical revamp mod for this game anywhere?

try playing with the scaler option in the dosbox configuration file
(dosboxXXX.conf)
where XXX is something that relates to the game. Cannon probably

It's something like dosboxcannonfodder.conf.
Find the line about "scaler" and put super2xsai behind that. Then save the file. The game will look alot smoother now!
