Adding Qualifications to seaman

[danzig70]

I would like to add qualifications to sailors for the flak, deck guns and watch. When I surface sometimes the game pulls crew from other compartments. Also, I would like the same sailors manning the deck gun and flak gun when ordered to increase their proficiency. I didnt have an problem with the Petty Officer, but when I edit the sailor, the only qualification that appears is the watch crew qualification. I don't use SH3 Commander and am editing the crew_config_VII config file. I have seen screenshots of it working using SH3 commander. I tried editing the nrqual, Has Helmet and setting different qualifications to "yes".

This is one entry I am trying to edit:

Firstly I would like to say that I don't know the answer to your question.

On the other hand there is no benefit from assigning qualifications to seamen , either by editing nor by SH3 Commander.

SH3 Commander does the job for you without any efford.

You don't use Commander??? Why not? Not only does it make many things easier, but it adds so much more to the game. I couldn't live without it.

As VonHarris said, sailors don't use quals, even if you assign them. This is the way it is in real life - a petty officer is a sailor who is qualified. This means that in real life there is no such thing as a petty officer without some qualification. This is another reason SH3C is so handy.

I'm not sure that having a PO or sailor manning the gun (or any other compartment) increases his efficiency with that compartment. I think they increase the same no matter where they are. This may not be true of petty officers but I'm positive it is with common sailors.

Well, I don't use SH3 commander because I like to make the modifications myself so I understand what is being changed and how it's done.

I wanted the "qualifications" to establish crews for different compartments such as watch, deck gun and flak gun. I understand that it won't affect the performance but I do want the same crew members performing these actions.

I say I couldn't live without it mainly because it also gives a name, cargo and crew number to every ship you sink. My Ship Names mod, made just for it, has more than 12,000 real ship names which are distributed by ship class, as well as a database that makes possible 1.7 billion crew name combinations.
