Is Destroyer Command even close to playable given some of the worst video game reviews ever on that one ?

"Sometimes software is released in such a wretched state that the developers may as well just come to your house and kick your dog for $40. This is the case with Destroyer Command, a painful instance of just how shameless and insulting a computer game company can be with its customers." -Gamespot

"Destroyer Command Review
We're gonna need a lot of help to float this one off the shoals." -IGN

Etc. Does modding make this game what it should have been as well ?

Destroyer Command is very playable, but it is limited. The problem with SH2/DC was that it was primarily a scripted mission sim, along the same lines as Dangerous Waters. Once you did the mission, you knew what to expect and when. Both games did have a random mission generator, but it is limited too. Kriegstanz was developed to generate new missions and help broaden SHII and DC, but it was a lot of work, too. Multiplayer with SH2 is where DC really shines.

I see your point clayton. The first sub sim I played (don't remember the name: it was one of those early games where you had to imagine what was going on from a few colored pixels painted on screen) had the possibility to switch between the command of a submarine and of a destroyer. It was far from perfect, but still very enjoyable

Wasn't keeping track at who posted what when.
