shooters,
I arrange a junoir sailor ouside as a watch officer ,and he didsn't report a coming enemy sub until 1 km between us.
So,is it useful if I put a titled Watch officer instead?
DOSES tiltle really useful in crew mangement?

Thank you,Guys!

I guess that petty-officers do have more experience-points than plain seamen. this can be controlled in SHCommander, which I strongly suggest you to install additionally.

makes SH3 even better! :up:

edit: watch officer is important!
without him you won't even get wheather reports.

Hi,

Not sure I understand 100%, but you do need the watch officer on deck for him to call out contacts ("Shiff gesichted"). No watch officer = no shiff gesichted.

Cheers,

Absolutely important that you have a qualified WO keeping an eye out for any kind of ships. If you get surprised by a warship, without that WO on task, it's gonna be a miracle to dive by choice rather than being punched full of holes and sent to the bottom. ;)

Cheers, and welcome aboard SUBSIM kevinlv. :salute:

EDIT:

BTW, I was surprised by a destroyer once even with the WO up top. Luckily it was far enough away we could dive and evade before their guns could zero in on us.

Best practice is to have a suitably qualified WO in each section whenever possible.

this is something i've often wondered about.

SH3 uses a kind of green bar system to show how effective the staffing of any compartment is, so with 2 watch qualified petty officers, and a WO the bar is full, but will less eyes up top mean less contacts? would it be better to have 4 sailors and a WO?

i have had a full green bar and my watch crew have missed the contacts - leaving me to see them first: but a full green bar is essential nontheless + the advice from jimbuna
