MOst REALISTIC MP settings. Your oppinion pls

[Furia]

Lasts MP games we could see how different oppinion we do have about wich are the appropiate MP settings for a match.
This also made us waste like 15 minutes asking the Host to change this and this.
So this make me to propose here what based on my experience should be the most balanced and realistic settings for this matches.
Basically this is oriented for a match where players are manning one platform per player, that is single station.

Before going into details let me tell you I am a hardcore player, I hate arcade and I love realism to the max.
I have been playing Naval sism since the first Spectrum Silent hunter back in the 80's
I always aim for maximum realism like in Silent Hunter where I always use Manual TDC or 688i Hunter Killer where all was no Auto Crew or Sub Command.
Said this, on my experience I have come to realize that playing DW without NO Autocrew in MP matches, not only does not bring realism but it complicates the game in a way it brings no benefit.
Actual DW Auto crew alone would never give you enough information and in proper time to kill a humam opponent. Maybe with some dumb AI you can but surely against skilled humman you cannot, if you have to wait your Autocrew give you enough data on him you will be dead by then and this is a fact.
I believe Autocrew helps in some cases to keep information and processing flowing while you are cheking other stations.
I basically just play the FFG and on this complex platform this is basically a need. SO while I am manually on the TA defining contacts, I need the EW auto crew to warn me if there is a new threat painting me with a FC radar.
Or if I am shooting a SM-2 against an Air targte, I need the Sonar crew to keep track of the new accoustic data and to tell me if I have a hot buoy os such channel.
This is what happens on a real Ship. The Captain is coordinating all the effort but not micromanaging all stations at the same time.
I manually manage each and every station when I need to refine information, release a weapon or gather extra data but while I am on the acustic station filtereing frecuencies and so, I want my AutoTMA keep ploting of the contacts and my EW crew warn me if a warship just illuminated me.
On my oppinion having the Autocrew in some stations is not a cheat or is going to help me to gather better data on the enemy since actual Autocrew is by far low on perfomance than any average level player, but to keep me warned about new information that appear while I am in other station.
This is particulary important on the FFG where you have more stations than other platforms and where you have to be aware not only of submarine contacts but air contats, surface contacts and EW information and so. Where the Accoustic information could come from 3 different stations and so.
Subs are a bit different on this because while submerged and al slow speed, the Captain basically focus on the Sonar station Having basically all information he needs on this single station.
I know some will surely disagree with me because they usually only drive subs or because they believe that "hardcore" is using the "advanced" player settings that means no Auto Crew. I respect this but this is my oppinion as a hardcore player and a dedicated FFG driver.
Resuming it Autocrew on my oppinion is need in some stations not for doing your work but to keep track of things while you are away on other station. Autocrew does not provide enough accurate and in time data to fight succesfully a capable human opponent but helps to keep track of things while you are in other stations.
For this I propose to use this settings for MP games where one player mans one platform. For multistation games where severl players man one platform I propose NO AUTCREW in any way since players have the time to focus on their station.
This are my proposed settings.




I have thought about this very carefully before posting this here so please thought about it just one minute before it is wrong because it is not "advanced mode"
Anyway I will surely welcome any oppinions. As I said I basically drive FFG lalthough I have extensive experience on subs in 688i, DW and other sims but for this MP experience on DW I prefer basically to speak for the FFG.
