yes i agree--it's perhaps a shame that they shied away from the whole concept of inter-op between two seperate games---but having done so they should havetaken a leaf out the big MMP ww2 games like BF42 etc and included the DD's for multiplayer--

if you ask me there is room for expanding on the concept of games like BF42 where it's possible to fly planes captain ships sub etc in a semi arcade way and go the whole hog and release independant full simulations of these different vessels and allow them all to inter-op on line--so in effect you would have BF42 but with full sim difficulty and specialisation---
folks might wonder at the expense of buying variuos different games for the whole experinence but this would be in no way compulsory and would build up over time to a truly immense MMP on line war simulation---everything from subs of all sides--destroyers --flight sim quality coastal command sunderlands etc providing air cover---no real limtations at all--a real money spinner no doubt (to be cynical) but if they pulled it off they would deserve the money IMO it would be a huge investment---- and the on line world it would allow for would be if it was stable and reliable would become an awfull lot of peoples favourite hang out--and would allow with the inclusion of a "coastal command asw" sim would briing the two groups of enthusiasts together (flightsimmers and sub/naval-simmers)in the same franchise--and that would surely more than double sales as the FS world has a far far larger fan base--

personally i'd love a fully simulated sunderland asw aircraft to fly on line interop against human "driven" u-boats and protecting convoys escorted by human "driven" destroyers ---i really believe the old SH2 /DC inter-op concept could be absolutely huge if done without buggs


mean time tho they should include drivable DD's in SH4 just beacuse it makes dang good sense--
