What is immersive for me is to have the targets, sub, world, and enemies behave realistically (and look appropriate).
I remember seeing mod changelogs with stuff about the uniforms, etc, and chuckled 'cause I'd paid as much attention to my XO's hat as I do to any guy's shoes I meet in RL—which is none at all. My wife, OTOH, she'd notice stuff like that.

PS—yes, I'm saying that anyone who notices uniform problems probably pays a lot of attention to men—not that there's anything wrong with that!

I hear ya.

I remember the first time my GF saw me playing SH3. I went into the command room and she went "ooo, nice graphics". I was surprised. Normally she couldn't care less, and I've played better looking games that she didn't comment on. So I said "yeah, look" and panned the camera around (away from the CE) to show her the rest of the sub. She sighed and said "the graphics were better when you were facing in the other direction". That's when the penny dropped.
