Default Staying on the bridge longer

In SHIII as soon as I order P depth or Dive or even Crash dive I am immediately placed in the control room, is there a way to delay that from happening and remain on the bridge longer? What do I need to edit?

I'm not sure why you'd want to remain on the watch tower longer.

One of the first things done during a normal dive was to clear the bridge and secure the hatch. After that the actual dive was started. A crash dive actually had the dive procedures started as the watch crew (or, Heaven forfend, gunnery crews or mainenance personnel) started heading inside. A risky procedure but, then again, you didn't just do a crash dive as a lark; there was a reason to get deep fast, after all.

"Tauchen!"

"Coming down Herr Kaleun?"

"Nein, it's a nice sunset, I want to admire the suns rays as it...hey...my feet are wet...Hey! Open that Verdamnt hatch!!"

While on this question another arises, why doesn't the watch officer appear on deck when you surface? Placing him there manually just gives me one more thing to do. Any thoughts?

Not so sound rude but I didnt ask for a Uboat Policy Procedure. Perhaps me as the "Captain" of my boat want to be last man down the "hatch", this being the case it would take at least 5-10 seconds for the 4 men on the bridge to get below followed by me which is another 2 seconds (im in good shape for being 39). So, that is 7 seconds from the time I order a Dive on some type, not the nanosecond responce time I get now.

What line in the code do I need to edit.

Thanks,

Simsurfer

True; sorry if we seemed 'preachy'. I'm afraid I've no idea what or where that can be changed (or even if it is at all possible to change). Hopefully someone will be able to get you an answer.
