There's no way they'll do this lol. We've been asking for this type of feature for years, and Ubi apparently has no intention of even acknowledging such a request.

As such, modders have been hard at work doing these sorts of things. I remember that when SH3 came out, this guy made a playable Battleship Bismarck mod- which was pretty good IMO.

I have this dream too...DC2 or whatever it's name will be

Maybe it's not so interesting to sailing around in a Destroyer, even thou the graphics a.s.o would be up-to-date (for me, it will!)

But if they made some kind of mods/patch/addon, that we can buy* and install into the SHV folder, so some, or all of the Destroyers became playable what then?

Would it then be interesting to "steer" a destroyer and guard some merchies like we did in the SHII-DC online games?

* For those who's interested in controlling a destroyer in an online-game

SH4 already included playable destroyers in MP. Maybe they've refined from that idea and come up with something much better.

Can increase sales if we can play destroyer for SH5.
Online needs of the submarine's pleyer and destroyer's player, and then only submarine single-line is very boring.

iam sorry, but the whole community is awaiting this... we requested it to much and to often in the past... maybe some just gave it up and get tired to ask for this most important feature

...the "Adversial Mode" of SH4 was nothing compared to the possibilitys we had with Destroyer Command !
