ot Destroyer sim

I would love to play a destroyer sim. My grandfather was on the USS Bell Fletcher class during WWII. The Bell accidentally rammed the Hornet in the rear while refueling and the crew of the Hornet would wave away the Bell whenever she got close to the Hornet.:rotfl:

The only destroyer sim taking place during WWII is Destroyer Command. The graphics are outdated by modern standards but it's still fun to play.

How much did the patches do to solve its problems?

Quite a bit, actually, and many of the SH2 mods work with it as well. I plan on playing several SH3 careers simultaneously until December 1941, then adding SH4 careers. If there is no DC2 by then I'll be digging out the original to play along with them.

I wonder how a destroyer command 2 would turn out?

To be honist i never played the first one..... doesnt seem over interesting taking control of a single destroyer, but i could be wrong. My views on commanding a destroyer are based on playing DWs destroyer which never really led to much action

The thing with being a destroyer captain is you can't be the lone wolf or ace like in a submarine or fighter sim. You're usually part of a squadron or flotilla or task force and have to act and steam in concert with your mates. Especially in a surface action. Would work best in multi-player format.
