That does sound a little too complicated

What I can tell you, because they showed us at the meet, is if you as the captain order periscope depth while you're up on the conning tower, the boat won't dive until you get down inside. the boat won't dive with the captain still up on deck. You as the captain can interfere with the running of the boat according to correct operational procedure.
this caused the dev's some confusion for a few seconds during the presentation before they remembered that feature

I thought it was pretty damn cool...
