But a real sub would not begin flooding tanks until the bridge was clear. This was a dangerous practice, and as far as I know, it was actually prohibited in the SOP. Not even because of the risk of crew being washed off, but because crash dive + open hatch = instant death for the entire submarine. So as it stands, the game is quite accurate in this regard. Flooding tanks before the hatch is shut is contrary to procedure, so it shouldn't happen.
