I find that statement very offensive due to several reasons. After being a deaf gamers through my life since Atari and being a deaf pc gamers since DOS in 1980s, subtitles always have been helpful for me when I play offline, through campaign or any game modes when communicating with AI. (When I play online, I use typing for communication system).
I am truly thankful that there are still games that includes subtitles and I even hope that Silent Hunter 5 still will include it. If SH4 didn't have any subtitles, I would have not enjoy SH4 to fulfill. There is still several communication in SH4 that lacks subtitles, like when crew gave me status about thermal layers. Having these subtitled would be helpful as well.
Now I have stated my reason why I strongly disagree that 'subtitle are for wimp", because I find that statement so ignorance, and I don't mean to bring any negativity here but I just can't stand anyone that claims that subtitle are never needed in any games!
However, even with full realism, I consider using subtitles playing game in full realism still being 'realistic' becuase I 'imagine' myself being able to communicate with crew well wihle experiencing being commander of submarine in realistic way. Finally, I think every game alway SHOULD have option of toggling subtitles on and off for anyone who want or need subtitles or who doesnt.
Chaoic out...
