There is a very logical and rational idea to solve this entire issue. Turn your computer room into a submarine. Close the windows when you dive, shut the blinds, and dont shower. Have your wife/girlfriend only give you meals at certain times of the day and tell him/her to nag at you in a sailor's voice.
Really...this is a game...not reality. If you want to play the game at 1x time compression from port, talk to your seamen, interact with the devices, write in a diary....
....join the Navy.
I really don't understand the need for more 'immersion' in something that is not trying to be the parallel to reality in the 1940s pacific. The game is SPECIFICALLY about commanding a submarine with the intent of shooting torpedos and sinking ships. Everything else is a side BENEFIT......the fact that its based on a real war, the fact that the boats were real, the fact that we have crews to mess with, the fact theres damage.....those are all side benefits. You're talking about bringing reality into the whole equation which is just a foolish idea. Not only would it cost countless more manhours to produce the AI and diverse settings for crew immersion, but it would also just be a wasted effort. The SH4 community won't like the game more just because the developers make some radical new immersion system.
You don't have to be a smartass just because you find a few things about the game wrong. And yes, from your very first post, you came off as a smartass.
