I'd rather see and experience the sub losing depth control than just be told by a voiceover that such control has been lost.

BINGO!
If you start off with a stong foundation, then you will get back in spades what you invest.
Couple this with the work he has done in ray path analysis, spice it up with what some of us can guide others on, and you will end up with something that will be a SIM and not an arcade game.
