I've seen this many times, players in a game asking for crutches, and if gone down that road the value of the game for the HC-oriented folk is decreased.
I admire the devs for bringing bots into the game, but running from station to station before bots was also very rewarding in its own right.
I am not saying that pause itself is such a terrible idea, but that the avenue it is on is a murky one.

The thing is HC or otherwise many of us aren't sailors and know very little about sub operations. Without a dedicated training ground with tutorials it's only fair to have a pause in single player so we can stop and read the manual. HC Sim is a poor excuse to not have a pause unless u happened to know how to operate a WW2 sub. I sure as hell don't. I was in the Army and operated a Bradley. I wouldn't expect anybody to know how to operate a Bradley in a HC Sim. I spent 2 months in training learning the basics to operate a Bradley in all crew positions. After which we constantly trained and went to advanced schools as rank and experience permitted. I'm pretty sure navigators or fire control officers had even more training and to expect people to be at that level is insane. Not having a pause especially for solo players is a mistake. Just my opinion though. And please don't try maybe this game isn't for u bs. That's a crap response also. Again, we aren't trained on any aspect of sub ops but that doesn't mean the game isn't for us. It's a cool game but I constantly have to stop snd read which causes me to lose my course or other negatives happen. A dedicated training mode and a pause would help immensely. Because I'm finding myself frustrated trying to learn a game that I'm constantly restarting missions simply because of no pause
