Newbie to SH4

Well Guys,
Ya got a new skipper going through sub school. I patched my boat (SH4 Game) up to 1.2 IAW regs.

So far the first class was about runnin the boat and navigation. Did a few practice dives and did some observations form the OBS Scope. That part of the cource completed. Just one comment, no rudder controls? Only hard port and hard starboard. I would like tobe able to command the boat, either left rudder or right rudder and come to new course bearing without going to the Navigation Map. Is this possible from the surface bridge or control center while viewin through the scope?
Another question what does the command rudder amidships do? I have not test that command yet.

That's it for now. Back in the early days my favorite sub sim was Silent Service II, a great game for it's time. I have been always looking for good flight, sub and ship sims. Lookin for a good carrier sim of the WWII PTO. Heck I played the hell out of the ole Avalon Hill, Midway with a buddy of mine years ago. Even played the computer version. Others were The Great Naval Battles series.
