The controls are a bit quirky but over time clicking with the mouse or pressing the keyboard keys for what you need becomes second nature. Overall it is quite good IMO.

Played a Few Hours, so still learning the game. Overall I like it, definitely tons of eye candy, as well as solid simulation qualities.
That said....I DO NOT like how they vocally respond when I order more or less speed! LOL Also It feels like it needs a few more people, maybe not. I would like a "Task window" that lets me know what needs to be done. For instance, pumping water, air compressors charge. Either I do it or I assign an Officer? Seems strange that monitoring bilge levels and Air capacities would be my job. I would expect an Office to "Request Permission to..." To that I would authorize or deny due to tactical reasons. Not a hard gripe just a thought. ))

I find it kind of odd to direct officers to turn on the compressor and or bilge pump all the time. This should be something assigned once to one of the officers and never needing to worry about it again. Overall, it is a great simulation and will only get better IMO. It appears a lot is in the works. Stay tuned.

You mean the schneller, schneller! (faster, faster!) ?
There's a mod on steam to disable that.
And you're right, it's extremely annoying.

Staying away from Mods for now...lol But Thanks for the info!
Might I add.."A ship at 12 oclock" WTF..This is a NAVAL unit..calling an airplane at the clock is fine, not ships..lol

I served on Subs...Submariners are Traditionally methodical, detail oriented...So me having to remember to take a sounding before diving, turning on the pump or compressors is workable but annoying, Especially if I am engrossed in a tactical situation..Now why the weapons officer/mechanic isnt asking me what torpedo i want in what tube is perplexing.

This Mission to investigate the sub not answering messages...was really spooky..lol Loved that one.

This game has really come along. Ive been playing the early access since about B127 and it has improved by leaps and bounds. They just announced the developement roadmap for 2022 and it looks like a major overhaul patch coming soon with one more big patch and then full release. If you havent checked this one out its worth a go.

I totally agree, so far for me is really really good, above expectations

UBOAT CTD and hangs up my PC sound as well such that I have to re-boot. Anyone else have this problem? My OS is Win 7 64bit.
