Replay system - is it actually GOOD for anything?

I had big hopes for the replay system, but after finally checking it out tonight, I agree it's not that good. The lack of any way to have the camera follow your sub or other ships is my biggest complaint.

There are little red/green marks on the play bar at the time you sink something, but it's not exactly precise when you have a 30 day patrol. You click on it and you may end up 3 hours before the sinking. You could try to click on the play bar again, but if you overshoot, you'll have to exit and reload. So your only option is to use TC. Good luck with that though, you can only go up to 32x and the cam doesn't auto follow anything.

If you could "hook" the camera to any ship somehow, I'd be a bit happier and could overlook the inability to rewind or precisely pick a moment in the replay.
