81% is the number displayed when I've checked all the boxes I want to check but it doesn't mean anything to me. I like the event camera and, as others have said, I don't believe that the captain's job is micro-managing every station or duty on the boat. I also prefer to crawl about mostly at x1 TC but that's mainly because I don't like surprises at higher TC. The only time I use any of the 'unlimited' options is if I feel like making a patrol to the Caribbean in my Type II.
I expect my weapon's officer to work for his salary, just like everybody else, although I do have one non-working crewmember who is excused all watch duties as he has the most important job of all on the boat - the cook! The only time I'll normally head home before expending all torpedoes is if we run short of coffee. The lack of a '
We're running short on provisions, Sir' factor in the game is a glaring omission, more so than fuel. I guess we've all got the 'unlimited sandwiches' option checked?
It's always amused me how the argument over 'realism' rumbles on. None of us have commanded a real U-Boat so it's all just hot air. Play the sim the way you want to, the way it gives you the greatest satisfaction. It's a game after all, not a job.
