I wonder if we really only have two engines

What about massively upping the armor on them?

What we want is that a shell with AP (or a bomb) that HITS the engine room (not a near miss), can take them out. Since only 2 matter in game, it should be at least twice as hard. If a single hit to the compartment tends to hit both at once, then it should be 4 times harder to kill them.

Excellent idea!
