I like to leave the external cam on because I like to explore (friendly) harbors, see what my boat looks like, take cool pics of sunset/sunrises, watch my target explode, and occasionally watch sit back and follow the friendly ships as I leave harbor on a patrol.
I do limit myself so that I won't use it to gain a tactical advantage in a sticky situation though. I feel that as long as I take the external cam eye candy without damaging the tactical situation when in trouble, that I'm still basically playing on 100% realism (which is why I made it so that having the external cam leaves me on 100%).
Just the other day I used the external cam (more precisely the free bridge cam in OM) to position my camera (captain) so that I was basically laying on the bow of the boat. I traveled all the way from the mouth of the Kiel Canal to that little island on the way to Scapa Flow on TC 32 just watching the waves, the sunsets and sunrises, and the birds fly around while reading a book. I took a few pictures while I was at it.
