Smoke from an engine room fire gathering at the floor of the boat, destroyer overhead, damaged depth gauge showing 60 meters and you realizing the boat is much deeper than you thought it was. You physically worn down from no exercise, not much sleep for the duration of the attack, your skin rashing from the everpresent moldness in a sub. Warmth inside areas of the boat at 60 degrees Celsius.
According to U-boat War Patrol: The Hidden Photographic Diary of U-564 by Lawrence Paterson these were some of the challenges Teddy Suhren and U-564 had to manage in one of their patrols.
I'm glad it's only a game  because it sure is nicer thinking about things like "Now is that destroyer aware of our presence or not? How's my situational awareness right now? " in my comfy chair and not in a real submarine.
