You know, the OP nailed the gripes some people are having.

What the heck does simulation mean to some of you?

Were you the same people that bitched and moaned about flight sim aircraft gaining virtual cockpits? "oh, that's too much eye candy, and it blocks my view."

In SH5 you can give orders for the boat from ANY location, even outside the boat....JUST LIKE SH2,3, and 4!!!

The only issue I have is closing the hatch with the crew on bridge, that is really un-realistic.

As far as the commander needing to look at the gauges to gain situational awareness, is technically not right. When in an attack scenario the commander was at the periscope, and the 1wo was up in the conning tower with him. The captain made observations, and the WO put that data into the torpedo computer, also in the tower.

Sh5, does not model this, and I am sure if it did, it would be one more gripe for those that want a sim to not be a sim.
