Well, I'm of the school that likes to "micro-manage" what the real pilots, sub commanders had to micromanage, within reason and fun. Real pilots didn't fly and drop bombs and man guns in bombers, I like to fly and drop bombs but leave the rest to the AI. Same story with manual torpedo aim, I like the SH4 system as it corresponds to what a captain would do, look through the scope give data and let the crew make the calcs input the TDC. Similarly with manual prop pitch, I like that planes had different levels of automatic systems.

But it can be a choice.
