Excellent well thought out OP. I agree 100%

Flight sims use joysticks, racing games use wheels, surely naval captain games use a microphone?

You know, even in my racing sims I use a microphone... in rFactor there is a 3rd Part App which simulates your Team Boss/Crew Chief on the radio. He tells you lap times, how others are doing etc. The interesting thing is they also have it so I can ask questions, give input into if I want damages fixed on a pitstop, and all verbally in a game that has no voice recognition built in. You can even configure it to recognize the phrase, or phrases you want to use for a certain command. If a 3rd Party developer could create this for rFactor, there is a real possibility someone could do the same for a Kaleun at the periscope feeding speed, bearing etc to his crew!
