5. The Helmsman doesn't seem to steer the boat.
That's one of the most annoying things I saw in SH3 from the very beginning: You have two men sitting in the control of the diving planes even in surfaced condition (When theya ctually would NOT be there) but you NEVER have anyone in the rudder control

True, U-Boats had a second rudder control in the aft compartment (Where they could also manually operate the rudder in case of system failiure) but the helmsman was normally in the CT for easier communication.

BTW the helmsmen operate the diving planes with their hands on the wheels that actually are the emergency controls. They should push the buttons in the box in front of them instead, using the hydraulically assisted mechanism.
