After reading the Dead Is Dead thread, it occurred to me it would be nice to have some type of "passive AI" for my boat. Its one thing to check the "dive to periscope depth" as the default action, when a warship is spotted; but could you please slow the boat as well, once you are at periscope depth. Or dive deeper if its heading right at you. Or change course a bit to stay out of its way. Maybe some type of interface with a list of preselected options so that I could say "I'm going to the head for awhile, #2 you have the boat". And actually still have an intact boat when I get back. And before some of you say "well thats what save or pause option is for." I agree, but it would certainly add a layer of realism to turn command over to your second, retire for the evening (the real captains had to sleep sometime), and have a nice "dry" report of the nights events in the morning. Is there anything like this out there? Is it possible?
