It is pretty nice standing in front of the TDC in the conning tower and watching the attack develop. It's great to watch all the dials spinning and see how the attack is developing, much better than watching the nav map.

This is probably a dumb question, but how do you look at the TDC in the conning tower?

Not dumb at all, since you can't with the stock game!

You need a modified cameras.dat

RFB and TM come already with that, allowing you free movement inside the sub using the arrow keys to move forward/backward/left/right.

The nice thing is that once you position yourself somewhere, when you select again the F2 view you appear where you were before so you can leave it anywhere you want (F.e. at the TDC in the conning tower) and return there with a key click.

This would be great. Even a split screen: Half Attack Map, half workable TDC. This would be brilliant!

I think lots of people have tried to add all the useful things to the attack map, but have had limitted success. As far as I know, there are certain things you can't change with the 2D stuff, because of IDs being linked to certain screens only and other limitations. I'm not really sure, that 2D stuff is beyond me.

I am working on a 3D TDC though. I can do 3D things.
