I would rather see that effort put into further AI enhancement/more realism options/more dynamic modelling of the boats (each one would be a little unique--crush depth varies etc). There is much that could be done with escort AI resulting in more of a challenge to escape a counter-attack.
Imagine getting a new command and not knowing exactly what to expect from the boat. How deep will it go? (They all had the same theoretical crush depth but in actuality--they were all different). Boat A takes 3 seconds longer to dive than Boat B and Boat C just can't keep it's engines running (HOR Diesels).
I could go on for pages but I think I've made my point. Not that my point is any more valid than your's!!! It's merely my opinion (And everyone around here has one  )!

Think I'd have to agree with you there Peto. A fully rendered 3D interior for your sub would be cool but it would simply be eye candy and notmuch more. I'd rather see the time and energy go on better external graphics, more and better ship models, better campaign, better AI, etc etc.
Basically I would place quite a few things in the 'To Do' list ahead of creating an entire submarine interior.
Besides when are you going to see all of it?
