I know some time ago there was discussion about adding the saddle tanks rather than the simplified trim tank we have now. I'd like to see that whole area improved (even make it an option for easy vs. realistic tank configuration).

How do you trim the sim? I flood both fore and aft ballast tanks then use the trim tank to obtain neutral buoyancy at 20-30 m below the surface in a level condition. I'm guessing the boat is "magically" trimmed given the tanks we have?
That’s how I do it as well yeah. Typically at the start of an engagement I will do a trim dive and adjust the tank to achieve neutral at dead slow speed. And the ballast tanks should be completely flooded always on diving.
