Default SHIV Realism, Release Date and Video Translation

Three questions.

1. In SHIV everything it pretty automatic and not very realistic. For example to dive you click a number on a dial but in real life you would say "Dive to x feet, dive angle x". And there is a limit to how much you can control. Will SHV be more realistic so you feel like you're actually in a sub?

2. When will it be released?(I know early march but what day?)

3. Is there a English translation or captions of ?

I've wondering about the whole dive angle and manual control of dive plane thing for some time now ... why not?? We can manually control the rudder and engines (mostly, i want to be able to go full back on ONE prop only), why not the dive planes and dive angle? c'mon! please??

It's for the sake of brevity. I don't know how many dives I've made but it isn't an easy "ok lets dive now" type of thing. It can take up to half an hour on a modern boat sometimes.
