oops, forgot two:

Realistic Sensors- Takes the fun out of the hydrophone/radar upgrades. Just because you have detection capabilities, doesn't mean they are foolproof. I like working with the limitations of the technology of the time, it makes it feel nicer when you get a better radar set/detector/widget/etc.

Realistic damage- A lot of players have mentioned that even with it set to 'realistic' its too unrealistic. I think for very novice players, having this be more forgiving gives them a chance to practice evasion and stealth techniques without having to repeatedly die and try again. However, once you know how to stay unseen/unheard, no reason to not have realistic damage. As a submarine, YOU have the iniative, and can pick your fights. If you sink, often it is because of a chain of decisions you made. Because of this, it doesn't benefit in the long run to have this 'off' (well, maybe for little kids and stuff)
