Not sure if this comment would best be posted here or in TDW's UI thread because it involves a bit of both, but could we first implement a delay between ordering a speed change and the engine room answering (SH4 had this) and then get the little red light on the telegraph repeater in the hydrophone room (the one in the bottom of that pic) to flash between the two?

It was a little detail I noticed in Das Boot, although those lights were in the control room in the movie. There was one for each engine and after a new bell was rung the lights wig-wagged until the engine room answered; presumably there was a matching set of lights in the engine room, too, to sorta say, "Wake up! Change the engine speed!"

Actually, it'd be even cooler if TDW could make the delay before the engines answer slightly random, perhaps dependent on battlestations and/or morale...
