Doesnt feel like it decreases realism, but rather, only saves you the trouble of drawing that yourself on the map. From what i've seen, when you un-check 'no contact update', you get no info other than what your sensors (or radio) would indeed give you - in other words, it is no 'gods eye mode' when unchecked.
Contacts on to me is the crew doing their job, giving you info you would need. We don't have proper sonar, radar or crew, except contacts on. WIth them off, you're doing all the jobs. Now, with the radar mod, it's helpful with contacts off, I use to use it when I played with them off, but I find it so time consuming that I prefer them on. With the cam off, it's a fair balance.
