Actually, I'm not a sonar technician, I'm a physicist who happened to fall into the ASW business by accident. Don't short change me on nuclear stuff either. Something I think would actually be a fun addition to a nuclear subsim would be some reactor physics. Like... I know there's interesting transient states you can get the reactor in when you change throttle settings and you have to make a control rod adjustment. I sort wonder how to put that into a subsim such that there might be an "engineering panel" or something where you could manually adjust the throttle of the submarine.
Cool things with coolant pumps as well, but I fear some of the cool stuff I am thinking of is still pretty classified so I will steer clear of the subject and let the boys that do that for a living comment if they dare.

Prepare to shift propulsion to the EPM. Prepare to snorkel.
