Real Kaluens didnt work out torpedo solutions, enter data in to the TDC, or man the flak and deck guns either.... yet no one complained about being able to do those things in SH3.
If you want to what a real kaluen did, you would just be deligating most of the time - that would make a boring ass game for sure. (Silent Hunter meets The Sims)

I played Silent Service, SS2, Aces Of The Deep and Silent Hunter 1. None of those games let you wander anywhere and none of them was in the least boring. Actually, going to every compartment and watching every crew member is more like the sims.

Now we finally get one and it is scrutinized to hell...

Not everyone and his dog. In fact, not that many. Just a few gamers who were more concerned about the eye candy than the way the game plays.
I said my captain visited everyone. Once. I can remembering him visiting the radio room twice in three months on station in Vietnam. One of the best things about SH4 is the clipboard when you get a message. That's what I did - carry radio messages to the bridge, or to the Captain's cabin if the OOD directed me too.
For Platapus: At one point during our tour the air conditioning went out in the entire forward part of the ship. We were allowed to wear t-shirts in lieu of regulation chambrays. We had to keep our pants on, though. One night when I had the midwatch we recieved a message for the bridge. I carried it up, and there was the captain in his captain's chair, wearing skivvies (boxer shorts and t-shirt) and his official baseball cap with the ships' name on it. When I handed him the message he had me read it to him (he didn't have his glasses) and loan him my pen so he could sign it.
Is that good enough?
