In principle, it sounds good, but I'm guessing that the gameplay in any surface ships mod suffers from shortcomings associated with inherent problems related to missions, career path, crew management, etc.,etc.

When I was doing work with surface ships in ISP, I did take time out to run a mission, where two hostile surface TF's went head to head. I didn't control any ships; just watched the action. I'll admit it was kinda fun, like watching a short WWII movie. One of the more serious problems in this sort of thing: gun actions/shells/ballistics are poorly modeled. Ubisoft put more effort into torps than shells.
