1. More of the sub must be accurate, that's a lot more work. An inaccurate interior is no better than no interior, IMO. I've been in a fleet boat, so the inaccurate insides in SH4 made me just want to look at the map or out the scope, instead.

2. More crew, and crew acting as "people" not just men following your orders is a liability to immersion. Why? Because it demand they act HUMAN. That means they cannot repeat themselves, etc. Your men during an attack follow orders, appropriate responses are to directly answer questions in a prescribed way, or repeat and follow orders. Repeating themselves is realistic, you EXPECT to always hear "yes, sir, all ahead full" in response to an order to that effect. As soon as they start bantering, they better damn well have so many phrases you never hear one twice, or they should not have bothered.

3. What use is it? Really, they can make bogus reasons to walk around, but it sounds hamfisted and contrived.
This, oh man, a million times this. People who wanted the full on interior and all the men and basically the "interactive Das Boot movie as a game" thing were asking the impossible. I think the developers should have realized that.
