The submarine was at periscope depth so any crew on deck can hold their breath very well. I would hope that the devs researched how many crew they should have, how many of each rank, what posts there are, and sit down and model every single one separately. If Fritz gets strafed on deck by a Hurricane then he should be gone and someone take his post if he was mission critical (XO, Sonar, etc).

In the beginning the Chief (I take it) said "shut down diesel engines" or something to that effect. Do we finally have independent port / stbd powerplant control and an option to run on electrics while surfaced?
Probably not, it looks like it's just the sound file played during a dive when switching from diesels to electrics. I bet we're not even able to run electrics on the surface!

Anyone notice that at (-:--) the () dialog shows "Secure from battle stations 1h19m"? Does that mean it takes 1h9m4s to secure from battle stations? Has the crew been at battle stations for 1h9m4s? What does this time mean?

What is lvl1? Does the crew achieve lvl2 actions? How do you improve lvls? Morale, drilling, patrols?

1:38... why does the hatch closing sound like a wooden outhouse door and not a big steel clang hatch?!

Good to see the planesmen are using the hydraulics buttons and not holding the manual wheels like they are driving a big Cadillac!
