I already have a feature wishlist

[junkets]

Press B for binoculars. Manual TDC is in game. You can target up to three targets at a time. Nav tools are in game. The map offers a "tactical" view. Hold TAB and it will show where each officer can go, in that way "walking you there". You can calculate speed by a sight/scope, using the bow-to-stern across the center line approach. The devs have mentioned they are working on alternative modes of travel/time compression, selectable before you begin your game.

But yes, a lot of this is "rudimentary" rather than "hardcore sim". But, given the interest this game has generated, and the wide audience (for many, most?, this is the first sub sim they have played) the game is attracting, having a full realism/immersion hardcore subsim could turn off 90% of people trying the game. And so, before even a full release, it would be... dead in the water.
