You'll have to forgive me, as I don't know much about uboats to start with, and most of my 'knowledge' tends to come from games and wiki articles about them, and I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this on here either. However, something that's been bugging me, I don't know where the helmsman would be on one; having played sh3 mostly, I've seen the 2 planesmen and the guy who has all the valves for the ballast tanks (forgot what he's called) but I can't figure out who controls the rudder. Also, I think I saw earlier that someone said when the ship was on the surface, the helmsman was in the conning tower rather than the command room, and I was wondering if that was true too. I can't seem to find a photo of a conning tower for a type vii either.
