TheDarkWraith systematically implements more and more delays to his mod, some of them (all?) are made configurable, like the speed order delay. I'm sure you would love it, the speed change is no more instant, you need to wait a few seconds before the order is passed down and carried out - maybe later not only delay, but randomness, could be applied to other commands.
As to the topic, there is one thing I hate doing and almost never do - estimating range to targets. I'm being lazy and let my WO do this. He does it much better than I would ever do, too.

I'm not a big fan of the hydrophone, but my sonar guy is unbelievably unreliable, so I'm made to. As to the rest of the duties, I enjoy them all, so I'm happy to do all the rest (I don't clean toilets, I doubt anybody does).

my 2 cents..

The good point of this is... convoy shots don't have to be calculated more than once. Unless you got them panic even before you shot, one torpedo solution works for any target in the convoy, even the rear ones.
