3.>How about ships like Admiral Hipper, GrafSpee,Scharnhorst,Bismarck,the never built H Class ships,P Class ships and finally the Graf Zeppelin?.Will there be diffrences in detail between diffrent BBs?

4.>will the editor allow us to make these units in detail if you guys don't put them in the game?

Questions 1-3: wow, I sure hope that there won't.

What you are describing would correspond more to a game like Panzer General or even more, Steel Panthers.

SC1 is a grand strategy game (high abstraction level) and all the different types of equipment are built-in in the existing units. In SC1, a tank group could consist of ~500 (or even more) battle tanks and a lot of armored vehicles. So, there would be an assortisment of the tanks you describe, depending on the nation, combat doctrine and achieved tech level.

What, I've understood, SC2 will maintain the same principle: high abstraction, every single rifle or gun is not detailed. This is the strenth of SC, at least to me. The player can concentrate to strategy and not micro-management. If I want to play a tactical game, I play Steel Pathers.

(I think SC2 will have some less abstracted units as engineer corps or marines.)

Questions 4-5: There will probably not be that many different units so that you could make that many different graphics for them.

Question 6: I think there will be a standard scenario with some limits, but the players may choose to change them or not to apply them at all.

And if wanted to play a grand strategic game which

modeled every single rifle or gun, I'd play a
