Yeah, those commands are missing. They've been added back by players in various forms via mods. Personally I use
TheDarkWraith's 3 Dials mod which gives you back the full rudder, speed and depth gauges and their commands. Till Ubisoft patches those commands back in, we'll have to do it via mods.

Again, missing commands fixed (sorta) via mods. I've seen the Next and Previous ship ones work, but when you try to lock onto your own sub it breaks your camera (and therefore your avatar) so I've stopped using them and just fly my external camera 30km away if I wanna peek.

Voice pipes were at one time being developed (there's images in the data files) but they don't currently work. Speed commands are keys 1-5 and ~ to stop. Rudder changes are either 1/5 degree or Shift-Arrow keys for full rudder. Manning guns.. is.. broken-ish. Best to just aim your binocs at something and tell it to fire, it will. Won't stop, but it'll fire. Battle Stations is F7. Crash Dive is Shift-V, or the crash dive button. Use F1 to see what hot keys work currently.
