Hey folks,

I was playing around with the camera mod that comes with ROW and check out these screenies!

By using the > and < keys in external free cam mode you can walk the decks of any ship due to the restrictions being removed by the ROW camera settings. You can park yourself in a gun tub on a Jap destoryer and ride along as they depth charge your poor sub to the deep! It is really cool to ride along on a merchant as well. I like to set my view from the bridge and watch as the torpedoes strike home!

Now I know what you are thinking. Can you say DESTROYER COMMAND anyone!

Thats right. Now that we can ride along on the ships all we have to do is figure out how to control them. I know, I know, a true Destroyer Command would be the Holy Grail of modding but my little experiment does prove one thing...

The SHIV 3D engine can handle surface ops!

So, do you think a Destoryer Command Mod is possible?
