As soon as i surface the Boat, the Watch crew from the front room goes to the bridge...
But the officer has to be dragged there manually every time...
µ
can that be changed, so he gets on the bridge automatically?
(i play no fatigue by SHcmdr)

People have been trying to fix that for five years. No luck yet. But, considering all the other things that 'couldn't be done' yet we play them today, who knows?

OLC produced a fix for this a while ago.

Seemed to work ok for a few people, but was discontinued due to persistent problems.

If it was SHV he would say to you:


" Sorry Can't go on the bridge right now!":D

I know that having the Watch Officer on the bridge gives access to all kinds of important surface functions, like deck and flak gun usage, range read-outs, etc. But purely for the purpose of visual detection of ships, is the WO really necessary?

I mean, I could just give watchman certifications to four crewmen and they'll undoubtedly fill that green efficiency bar. That way I wouldn't have to drag the WO out after every hydrophone check.

But I wonder if the lack of a WO, regardless of bridge efficiency, would somehow undermine my ability to spot ships.

Thoughts?

well trouble is that especially early in the war, crews are noobs, and especially on the Type II boats you do not really have a lot of crew members.
and even less able to get a watchman certification.
i usually end up with one noob watchman and two noob sailors on the bridge... having a WO up there certainly improves things a lot!

If this could be done it would be fantastic.

Does anybody have a link to the "fix" mentioned above? Or a mod name that I can search for? I'd be willing to give it a look. Having to manually send a WO to the bridge every time I resurface is a small thing, but certainly bothersome. Especially since the rest of the watch crew goes there automatically.

Seriously, I don't recall ever hearing of that one. Would be nice to see if works for some.
