How do you balance your desire for realism with your love of the games eye candy?

Sailor Steve, 10-4 on the different levels of realism and danger. It's just something I wondered about because I just finished a convoy attack where I sank a couple of tankers and the convoy had seven escorts and 3 of them came after me, 2 corvettes and one destroyer, and when the destroyer would make a depth charge run it was like popcorn popping it threw so many at a time and it just seems like it would be quite the challenge to try to make the correct decisions and finally evade the escorts without ever looking outside of the submarine. But watching those depth charges flying off the tail, hearing the mechanical sounds as they are launched and seeing everything else that's happening is too cool to miss. Plus I just have some chicken in me and feel an almost overwhelming urge to peek and get a jump on an evasive maneuver when things get tight. Maybe some patrol soon I'll get gutsy and turn off external view just to see if I can do it because I don't know if I have what it takes to not peek if I have that option...haha.
