P.S. How do you quote someone where it will say "So and So said:" Instead of just "Quote:"?

They give an external view that is attached(locked) to each ship, letting you cycle thru each ship in the immediate vicinity. If you are under 40m of water or so, it you can't look out over the water to get a tactical advantage(like when you are being hunted by destroyers), and it won't show you where you are relative to each ship either. Great for checking flags!

Either use the quote button or edit in [quote="name" (close bracket)

Or chasing a contact for several hours only to find out when you spot it finally you've been chasing a tug boat or trawler or some other ship that's not worth the time or torpedo to sink.

I chaulk it up to experience for my crew and sail away. Screenies are the only reason I use the external cam too. I'll admit I use the < > for awhile to watch the airplanes attack my sub as it submerged. But I grew out it.

Yeah it's a great camera, would be a shame to waste it. My rule will be if it helps me, I won't use it.

Wetware: Okay yeah I checked out those controls to see what you were talking about. That's a nice compromise for checking flags, so it's good to know. Of course, I could have just looked at my reference card eh?
