Any chance of widescreen for Destroyer Command/ SH 2?

Currently I can't seem to find anything about widescreen support for DC or SH2. I know they're older games, coded when 4:3 aspect ratio was the norm, and 1024 or 800 resolution was the maximum. But I have other older games like the Tomb Raider series and Unreal Tournament that have third party patches that allow these games to be played in more modern widescreen format. Or are DC and SH 2 too "hardcoded" to allow such tweaking?

I'm returning to destroyer Command after about 20 years by the way. I know it got panned by the mainstream game reviews but it's a pretty unique simulation to me. Yes, the anti submarine gameplay was disappointing, and the wingman Ai are prone to collisions if you're not careful, but I think it's very atmospheric to see your destroyer squadron prowling the sea beside you. The anti aircraft and torpedo action is great too. SH 2 has been outshone by SH 3 & 4 but it's got some nostalgia for me.
