I did not scan all the prevous posts in this thread so my apologies for any "dupes".

A set of bubbles in the deck gun to let you know when the boat is near level. I'm sure the deck gun crew would know by looking through the sight that the gun was pointing at the target or not. With a stabilized gun sight (no, the "no stabilize view" does not apply here) you have no way of knowing if your muzzle is pointed at the sun or the sea... This should not be a huge thing to implement.
Better "thinking" from the "dispatcher." It would make sense to me that the boat would be sent to locations based on current loadout and fuel. I've been sent to Hong Kong (out of Pearl/Midway) to patrol for 96 hours with barely over 1/4 fuel and 2 fish.
While we're on that, if no one else has asked. TOW me into port if I'm within 250 miles of base. Refuel me if I'm farther out. I'm NOT proud. I hate losing a great patrol because I got sent all over the ocean and ran out of juice due to some depth charge damage in my last patrol zone.
Again, if no one else has asked, more realistic depth capabilities for the subs. Dick O'Kane took the Tang down to almost 600 feet to test it's hull before going into action. We should be able to do the same (with variations due to class).
