I think I'm playing at 86% or 84% realism.

I only have the External View and Weapons Officer turned on. I use external view just for looking at cool stuff and for snapping screenshots. I try avoid using weapons officers as much as I can. I left it on in case if I would have trouble identifying the target on pitch dark nights or if i have trouble determining the range in rough weather. So far I haven't used it at all.

Recently for my new career, I turned off the God Eye option which disables the ships location on the map and hydrophone contact. It's only early days but I'm liking it so far. Got to be careful when you're leaving port in high TC though so you don't ram into ships. Just take notes of nearby ships and their current heading and you should be golden.
