You know what would be funny and pretty cool too ? SH6 being an online game where everyone is part of the crew, this having 30-40 people connected at once, doing various tasks around the sub... my guess is we wouldn't even leave the port before sinking because the Helmsman went afk but oh it would be so funny
You know what? That actually has the potential to be quite awesome, hopping on a server and taking the reins of a u-boat position, either driving the sub or manning the TDC, hydrophone, or some other skill-demanding station. Having the AI call out to you "depth charges in the water!" is one thing, but to sit there with actual people around you in the sub, using VOIP and text chat to communicate to you that the torpedoes are ready to fire, that there is a destroyer making an attack run, or that there are merchants off the starboard bow... that'd be something else. Especially if they implement getting wounded or killed.

Even though I fear that it'd often be a bunch of headless chickens running about, Battlefield series-style, than an organized, well-functioning crew.
