I prefer to use the external camars to do stuff. Sure its unrealistic, but it keeps me alive, and it keeps me from wasteing my time either diving or using a torpedo. You also gotta think the commanders of the subs had a better understanding of how loud they were under water so thats why I use the ship noise moniter. Also the radio man can't tell you if the radar contact is a ship or a plane, even if its moving close to you real fast. So I just press , to see if its a ship or a plane, and make my actions according to that. Also if I want to invade a port, I don't wanna go in and waste my time and possibly getting sunk on maybe a medium size merchant. Also its cool to see all the weird things on the ships.
Its also nice using the external camara because I am a shallow water sub commander, I invade ports a lot, its nice being able to see if your top is sticking up, or if you are running to close to the ground. Im sure over time and experiance I will learn to do it at 100 percent realism, but at the moment im running it at 60%. I might not want to get rid of the event camara because I like seeing my torpedos hit. Sometimes if I dont care I will just exit the camara and listen in the hydrophone for a hit or a miss.
