DC2 or SH4? Why not just have both?
(well we know the answer to THAT one but just for a moment let's pretend it's not all about the Benjamins...)
The games are similar enough as they have to be compatible. Small things here and there should BOTH be accepted - for example in DC and SH2 ships would have to be either Diesel or Steam Turbine (like it made an appreciable difference). The problem with that is, there were many surface ships that used Diesels and in any case there doesn't seem to be any real performance difference between the two in game.
The major appreciable difference is the heavy fixed binocular screen. If the ship is 'sub' class then it would get those fixed binocs but if it's a surface type this could be substituted for the Gun Director screen.
The ships guns themselves shouldn't - historically and realistically - be limited to one heavy gun and one AA gun apiece. What about subs that mounted multiple AA guns or even those heavy quad mounts I've seen in some pictures?
There really shouldn't be any problem with having two-in-one. If they could do that - and supply an adequate scenario and unit editor - then I'd buy that.
