The one diesel driving both props fact is actually in the SH5 loading screens, and it would be pretty cool to see in game, perhaps as an engineer special ability?
And on the generator note, it's not that an engine was clutched to a motor, but rather the motor was de-clutched from the prop and switched as a generator. There's only one shaft per side, with a clutch between engine and motor and another between motor and prop. Either way, though, it would be cool to have different options for charging the batteries and cruising and all... One engine driving both props, one engine driving a motor to charge batteries, both engines charging batteries...
