Found myself wondering about the Destroyer Command 2 possibility again. Is there anything out there that would be the next best thing to destroyer command? In everyone's opinion, what is the best WWII surface warfare game out right now?

There is a MoD for a playable Beta destoyer Here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=135025

And there is also a Beta Pocket BB Here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=135891

Both are done by the same guy and he has put alot of effort into them. I hope this answers your q.

Doubtful. The SH4 engine wasn't designed to handle all the functionality of a surface vessel. Not selling any of the modders (incl. the S-Boot team) short, and if they can work some miracles that'd be great, but I don't know if we'll see any human-controlled DDs/DEs sailing along with a convoy, with enemy subs trying to get to the escorts and your escort attempting to locate and sink them, with most/all of the actual capabilities of the escort modeled. Maybe in a MP setting, since I don't think the AI is up to manning a sub and bringing off a successful attack.
