1) It is damn cool standing on the turm and seeing it flashing up with the 8.8 cm plus the extra noise i imagine it to be. When firing during nights and pitch black, this is an extra dimension. Very realistic indeed.

2) Handing the shooting over to my team i could navigate the submarine easier and watching the horison after potential destroyers. I have the feeling that my watch officer discover and inform about the hunting destroyer very, very later than he SHOULD thus making us loosing important time for escape.

Just my two cent.
And a good two cents too...... It's just you can't trust the team to get the job done as well as yourself. Have hoped they could get the job done, only to find my career ended way too short.....
