Cold-War Era SH5

I'm reading this over and many of you are talking about immersion issues...that you don't feel like you're commanding until you're running down a convoy.

Did you ever consider that your crew gain experience by you just calling drills on them? Making them work longer? Diving, surfacing, running silent, battle stations, repair crew, changing course....all does its part.

No, it could be immersive, but not terribly interesting.

Like having an Olympic Skiing game where you do simulated leg lifts and other strength based stuff, but never actually race

Someone else already mentioned this, but it bears repeating with the "appeal to realism" talk. A lot of the technology and specs on nuke boats and Cold War operations are still classified. It'd naturally take somewhat of a leap of imagination to create a sim to fill in those gaps, and that alone may turn off some of those who are looking for a hardcore experience.
