Hi KapitanDB, I haven’t played SH2 in a long time. I do know It runs on win 7 &10 64 bit. You generally need to run the game as administrator and set the compatibilities of the exe. I can’t give advice regarding using a laptop or win 11. On newer equipment You may need to install an earlier version of directX like 9c and perhaps “large address aware” as well. You should’t need VMware or Dosbox for SH2. - hope this helps.
I still occasionally play DC on a desktop. I like it because its’s a first person sim with all stations modeled ( Radar, sonar, TDC, depth charges), large variety of ships from different countries, and their devices/ equipment. But most of all I return to it because I enjoy it’s scenario editing capability. Because SH2 and DC were designed to work together they share assets and editing ability too. So like you, I enjoy tinkering too.
