Gents,
Let's all not forget that in r/l submariners were/are picked for their emotional stability and lack of "drama" in the first place.
While I agree that a bit of small talk would add to the overall atmosphere of the sim and help to bring the crew to life, so-to-speak, it's really not necessary IMHO.
I think it's a question of imagination, and a user's ability to use a little bit of it when playing a subsim.
If you really want consequences, or a reason to pause before acting on those command decisions, then play with the TM v1.4 mod, and play "dead is dead" @ 100% realism. Really brings the game to life for me. Well, as much as possible anyway considering that I'm sitting in front of a PC in my 'puter room, all at about 2,000'MSL (local elevation where I live).
No disprespect intended to anyone, the above is merely my opinion.
Regards
