Exactly. He didn't run over and tell them what to do or how to do it, he didn't have to manipulate controls, he gave them an order and relied on their expertise to carry it out. |
SimNut,
I believe that I have not explained myself well enough, a habit I have as I am easily distracted
When you order any depth when using NYGM TW 2.2 the crew will maintain that depth, there is no need for you to have any further input.
The exceptions are, when you have flooding and the weight is more than the dive planes can compensate for at the current speed, or when you are going too slow, say <1 knots or when effected by the wave action at periscope depth.
So what is required of you, the Captain, to rectify this? Simply order a speed, either in knots or a 'ahead ##' and the crew will automatically bring your u-boat to the correct depth.
You have made reference to in real life a captain would not have to do such and such.
In real life if a Captain (or the officer on the bridge etc) ordered a given speed then I can assure you that no one, and I do mean No One, will second guess the Captain and order a higher speed to maintain depth.
They would instead inform the Captain of the situation and then the Captain would issue updated orders which may be to go at a faster speed.
And this is exactly what you have to do with NYGM TW 2.2
