I understand why some people want to "drive" the boat, but in reality, the Captain merely gives an order "Bring her to periscope depth", "Make your course 015 degrees", "5 degrees down on the planes" etc. When you are trying to work out a firing solution, it pains me to slowly bring the boat onto my intended course, or having to watch the depth gauge when I should be concentrating on the enemy stalking me (or vice versa). At least make it a CHOICE to be able to give discreet orders or do it all yourself. Like others have said, the ability to place markers on the map to assist in TMA or firing solution, and the ability to plot waypoints for patrol (and also for torpedos). All that said, I love this game, and am so happy to have bought it. Please devs, keep listening to the community, and implement the ideas that are popular and simple enough to code.
