I was thinking maybe it meant Escorts = 2

- Having to hit the "Enter" key after using the W,A,S, or D keys to change rudder/speed isn't really friendly to the hand or wrist. Generally you shouldn't make the user have to move their hand much if you want them to use the number keys to change stations and W,A,S,D to manipulate course and speed. I'm assuming we'll get to change the keybinds later?

Agreed, keybinds would be great, and hotkeys for the various stations even better. Bridge, Sonar, Combat, Gun, Lookouts, external, as F1, F2, F3 etc

- Having the time, course, and speed info in the lower left across multiple stations is great, but it's missing Gun Director, Lookouts, and External View stations

Agreed.

- Switching from true/relative bearings on the sonar station doesn't make either of the compass discs rotate. They're both stuck with 000 being at the top regardless. If I remember right in the older demo, one of them would rotate to show true north

.

Confused me too.

A response to this W-A-S-D
Couldn't they make it so that players can use ordinary Steering Wheel..

You can use the steering wheel and telegraph on the Bridge. I just never go there, too busy trying to pin down those wily U-Boat commanders!

It was yours and this one

I answered..
Here a steering wheel could be handy to steer the boat and then use of some joystik/pedal to set speed.
