Certainly one thing a sim like SH3 or 4 can't give you are the extended environmental conditions you have to put up with for a whole patrol. Especially on a U-Boat, or one of the S-Boats. What's it like to be soaking wet and unable to get dry for weeks on end? Freezing cold? Enervating heat? Sweat-induced rashes that won't quit? Most of us who have lived in relatively climate controlled conditions all our lives would probably go into a catatonic stupor in a few days in the torrid conditions on most WW2 submarines operating in a tropical environment, let alone able to function and efficiently perform our jobs at a moments notice.
