I stated my new sub in '41 with what I thought would really be available. Green officers and bums. I have 7 officers:1 over engine room,1 over each shift in the control room and 1 over each shift on the watch.
I have an NCO over @ shift in the torpedo rooms, the conn, 2ed and 3rd shift in the engine room, and 1 @ shift on watch,plus 1@ on damage and both guns.
All others have been replaced by seamen level1, with stats like 4,5,5,3,5.
thats 7 oficers, 23 ncos and 71 fresh green swabbies.

1) hows that sound to you ??

2) most important !!!!!!!!! my swabbies are up to level 3 but thier stats remain the same "4,5,5,3,5.
WHEN /Do they go up ?????????????? I thought they would climb up some as they progressed in rank !?

3)what ACTUALLY gives the crew experence?? kills ? days on patrol? # of dives?

guesses are welcome BUT hard facts really count.


PS forgive the inapproate terms, I am a career army man and sink japs for sport.

That gives you a crew of 101 -- actually 102 if you count yourself.

Trim it down to 65 or so -- more in keeping with actual staffing on a fleet boat.
