That's the same approach I favor. Allow the player to manage as much as he wants but also give him/her the UI to set speed/depth/course so he can focus on scope observation and TDC when attacking, and hydrophones when evading. I play a lot by myself, it's tricky to find time to coordinate games with other players (outside of our excellent scheduled games) and except for the cumbersome running between the dive planes and the TDC in the conning tower, Wolfpack is an excellent solo player platform. Having a mode with the single player dashboard will really explode the game's potential.
