Ultimately, something like this MIGHT be possible... As noted, making the sub a surface ship wouldnt be hard.... Deck gun station could be heavily modded to look like a turret, though getting multiple barrels to work won't happen. Change the behavior of the torps to mimic DC's - so that stuff like "range" would equate to depth.... Might work. Fix the look of the weapons - you would be limited to dropping charges off the fantail - no way your gonna get k-guns to work that I see right now. Turn "Radar" into the sonar station - although getting the temp gradients to affect it would bo a problem.... Hydrophone station would just need a new "look".

Ultimately - it could be done - thought it would be a lot of work - and patchwork at that. This doesnt even TOUCH the multiplayer aspect - that I would see as not being a possibility until some stability with a "single player DD Mod" came out and had some maturity.

I gave it a yes - there would be alot of technical problems - but to get SOME decent functionality there would be no need to do anything to the source. Going beyond some however would get into things that would require crossing lines I don't think are right. Ultimately - if there was enough support for something like this - you would instead see a company pick up the idea and start creating it from scratch or licensing the engine of SH4 only.

In the end - such a concept could create an excellent "sim" of the surface raiders used in the atlantic - or of a true DC2 game.
