What's missing?

The dive planes are a cosmetic effect. Depth and angle are controlled by the games sub controller, this effect is pronounced greatly when you use one of the nuclear sub mods. Holding stern planes at full dive at a flank bell should result in you becoming a mud dart, yet you somehow don't exceed a 20 degree angle.

yeah, i understand real life....
i was poking fun at the application.

my father was a GM 2/c on a diesel boat during the war but he always described himself as a bowplanesman....probably because he spent more time there than manning a gun or even as a lookout. in fact, i do not think i ever met a diesel-boat-seaman who described himself as a lookout. i can understand that.

those two ratings are now separate, as you probably know. i wonder if subs even carry GM anymore.

No need for a Gunner's Mate, no guns to shoot other than small arms.
They've been replaced by Missile Techs, etc

TMs handle all the small arms, MTs are really just glorified babysitters.
