That would be true if the engines turned the screws. Maybe they do in u-boats, but they don't in fleet boats. US engines had a single function, turning a generator, the screws were turned by separate electric motors.

You should have full control of both screws with even one engine.

Yup unfortunatly thats not the way the game is coded. It seems to be a go / no go situation.
