I wish about engines...

Hell yes.
I wish i would be able to put one engine "ahead" while other "back". It would really help to steer the boat in emergencies.
Than there should be an option to manually switch to electric engines for silent aproaching. It would be of course an option to save fuel (using engines only to load batteries).

Theres typically 4 engines but yes Ive been asking for this since SH2

Furthermore we should be able to run the electrics on the surface if we want as well.

You can't run the diesel engines underwater if you don't have a snorkel, because the diesel engines need air to run.

but i want to be able run electric on surface. Not diesel submerged.

I completely agree. Typically a 'decks awash' attack was made on electric motors because they are silent. Also maneuvering in port is easier because you have much finer control with the electrics.
