If available and active SJ surface radar also pinpoints any vessels detected. In the easy mode the game's navigation map is continually updated with the sub's location and the location of any visible vessels or airplanes.

Opting for manual targeting contributes 15 points to realism.With Assisted Targeting the player must navigate to within striking distance of enemy vessels, and remain undetected but determining the vessel's exact speed, range and Angle on Bow is not necessary. Opting out of realistic repair times will cost the player 8 points of realism.Some repairs require returning to a base capable of refits while others may require ending a patrol.Certain repairs can only be done when surfaced.Repairs at sea require a damage control party.These repairs took time and in combat situations that time might actually mean the difference between surviving a battle or being lost at sea. If submarines were damaged their crew could sometimes, given enough time, repair certain equipment on the boat when and if it gets damaged. Opting for unlimited fuel will cost the player 14 points of realism.The crew will warn you when you hit the 50% mark.With limited fuel one must periodically return to a base that can refit submarines or risk getting stranded at sea unable to complete a mission.While at sea refueling was historically possible, it's not been built into the game. Submarines were limited as to range by the amount of diesel fuel they could carry. Opting for unlimited oxygen will cost the player 8 points of realism.With limited oxygen skippers must surface their boats periodically to vent CO2 and re-supply with fresh air.(CO2) With time the air will become un-breathable affecting the performance of the crew and even leading to their deaths. When submerged, submarine crews use oxygen (O2) and generate carbon dioxide.

Opting for unlimited compressed air cost the player 2 points of realism.

If the compressor becomes damaged one may run out of compressed air making resurfacing problematic. Having limited compressed air means that the submarine's on board compressor must run to replenish compressed air supplies while surfaced.Submarines used compressed air to empty their ballast tanks and bring their boats to the surface. Opting for unlimited batteries costs the player 23 points of realism.Having limited batteries means that skippers must determine when and for how long they can run submerged before having to come up and recharge their batteries.When submerged (and often when surfaced) they were actually driven by electric motors powered by batteries that needed to be recharged by these diesels. World War 2 era submarines were powered by diesel engines which required air intake in order operate. Among these options are: Limited Batteries
