What are the best skills for crew in each part of the ship?

Also, some may be obvious but what do each of the departments do?

Most are quite obvious. Torpedo skills for the torpedo crew, watch skills for the watch, sensor skills for the radar/sonar etc. ;)

I put alot of time in my crew.My best guess

torpedo 60%torpedo/40%guns
guns 70%guns/30%torpedo
watch 100%watch
engines 65%mech/35%elect
sensors 50/50 elect/watch
command 10 leader, 30/30/30 ele/mech/watch

hope this helps

as far as shill types, engines in eng room, etc. although many a good watchman can be found in sensors, as well as good torp men in guns

In the same train of thought, do you guys have special crew for the guns assigned or do you just assign them as needed? Any pros or cons to having dedicated gunners (or damage control teams)?

It's just not realistic to have a damage control team dedicated. Plus if you get all spots filled you got serious crowding in ur sub.

If it wasn't for the Modders it would still be a Cartoonish, Unrealistic sim.;)

Actually it depends really, upon your style as a Captain.
for example Where I would need a strong gun and torpedo
crew.

DT. would require highly expert damage control in everyroom.

Hey, watch it, I resemble that remark:rotfl:


Seriously, the beauty of this game is that you can play it as realistic as you want (with appropriate mods and within the limitations of the game engine), or as arcade as you want (again with appropriate mods, etc.). You don't even have to play it underwater anymore and if we could figure out how to do it, you could fly the thing:lol:

And, MM, I only have one person in my damage control crew. His name is PO3 U. Fester. If a lightbulb breaks, he just sticks it in his mouth and it's good as new:sunny:
