Why should I do all the work?

..I mean I am the u-boat Captain. Why should I have to run around doing everything...manual target, man the deck and AA gun, clean the stinky loo while the rest of the crew watch Angelina Jolie. I wish someday someone, somewhere could have a crew member auto target and do all the calculations....but again I'm a lazy bum.

was this a question or a statement?

Both.

But it would be nice for a crew member to do the calculations based on visuals or sonar/radar.

I'm kind of with you on that bandwagon. After calculating 4 or 5 shots at a convoy and all the aftermath of getting away... to come across a lowley single merchant shortly after, I'm like: aww for crying out loud! Can't someone else do this!

my 2 cents..

Some would agree, me being one of them. The Captain doesn't do everything under the sun on the boat. But the less you do the more it takes away from the game as there is less for you to do.

Well, the Captain makes the critical decisions and plans attacks.
