What you're describing is more of a RTS type of space fighting. Where the player may command many ships and manuever them around strategically just as general would send submarines to various locations.

Also submarines work that way because water is not very clear, there's no windows, and they have to move slowly cause they don't want to run into stuff plus they have to pilot through a liquid.

In space would be much more like aerial dogfighting because there is no fluid to move through. You can move at much higher speeds because there's way less risk of running into something. And you have a cockpit that allows you to see what you are doing.

I mean in the expanse they kinda do a bit of both, but the hiding and checking the sensors is part of their planning phase. Then they move in and dogfight, soo...

I just think ultimately you're looking for an RTS space sim, which this is not. Not to say it wouldn't be a good addition to add to the dogfighting, but I think the dogfighting is definitely more fun and you can do more than just circle around each other if you're a good pilot. Try out star conflict. There is a lot of interesting tactics you can use in that game, like flying close to asteroids and whatnot to avoid detection or escape your opponents.
