I was always impressed with the way IL2 handled the so called "death screen". If you sustained a direct hit, the screen went black. Plain and simple! Game over! This seemingly plain and undramatic effect gave me goosebumps because of the realistic suddeness of death.
As for the subs, I'm no expert, but I would have to think that the implosion of a pressure hull is quite sudden, and death quick as tons of pressure crush you like a tin can. Probrably the last thing you'd hear is the horrible sounds of your hull crushing under astronomical water pressure before your lights went out a second later!
