They don't know what is your overall plan though and their actions may sometimes be suboptimal when you take that into consideration, so it's definitely rewarding to at least sometimes jump in.

It's also worth to distinct things that you CAN do in the game with things that you HAVE to do. As a skipper you can do a lot and we tried to allow the player to micromanage his boat as much as he likes to, even choosing what will be on the dinner, if he has such wish.

I also don't think you are being fair by calling the game "arcade". Simulation-wise there is more or less everything in the game that was present in the stock Silent Hunter games (and more!). It's true that you CAN order your crew to perform some of the tasks that were forcefully manual in SH, but again - you don't HAVE to
Thanks for the answer, nihilcat. I really hope that it sells well for you guys, and I know that many here will really enjoy it.
