On that last point, I thought at first that being able to walk though the entire boat was just a marketing gimmick since I was perfectly happy with the SH3/4 model. However, after having spent a few weeks in my virtual Type VII, I am sold on the concept.
Having to go down the ladder to dive, going to the conning tower to use the attack scope, the command room to use the observation scope, the sonar room to use the sonar. You get a very good feel for the size of a sub, the layout, where everything is. I find I more naturally use the observation scope or the attack scope as they were meant to be used.
When running deep, I also spend a lot more time than I used to at 1x, just standing around or pacing the command room, watching the crew, listening to reports. I find I will naturally move to check the actual dials in the boat rather than a popup screen. I now know where all the important dials are located on the sub.
It is very immersive....
