crew ratings

Play ing with GWE 3.0 getting crew quaifications?

do crew members impact tasks such as loading torps and damage repair if they have the quaifications does the same measure impact the petty and senior officers> Is there a an actual reason to give crew members a list of qualifications does there attainment make the ship run better?

[Fifi]

Yes, giving qualification to officers and petty officer raise the compartment ability green bar efficiency, hence makes the ship run better :yep:

[johnlax]

thanks for answer SO am I to assume that giving quaifations to seamen is of no value (other then cosmedic) ???

[Fifi]

You can’t give qualification to sea men...here at least

[johnlax]

I have routinly given quaiifications to seamen I guess what i am asking is do qualifications help seamen in any way?? I understand that they help with officers
Does this have a relationship to commander? (which I use)

[Fifi]

Maybe...but i can’t give qualification icons (radio/medic/gunner etc) to seamen!
Only petty officers and officers :yep:
Only in Ccom12, few seamen have qualifications...but from start, and you can’t allow more

From the Commander manual:


· awarding *any* qualifications to officers impacts compartment efficiency as if they were
awarded via Silent Hunter III;
· awarding the *first* qualification to a Chief Warrant Officer impacts compartment
efficiency as if awarded via Silent Hunter III;
· awarding subsequent qualifications to a Chief Warrant Officer, whilst being recognised in
Silent Hunter III, has no effect in Silent Hunter III;
· awarding a qualification to a Petty Officer impacts compartment efficiency as if awarded
via Silent Hunter III;
· awarding a qualification to a seamen, whilst being recognised in Silent Hunter III, has no
effect in Silent Hunter III;
· awarding any medal or badge has the same effect as if awarded via Silent Hunter III;
· promoting/demoting has the same effect as if awarded via Silent Hunter III (although
there is no demotion via Silent Hunter III);
So, only qualifications awarded to seamen or extra qualifications awarded to Chief Warrant
Officers are, despite being recognised in the game, not effective in the game.
Now, whilst these qualifications are not effective in Silent Hunter III, they are still handy
"markers". Also, some people believe that despite not being recognised towards
compartment efficiency, Silent Hunter III tends to align these qualified seamen to their
respective compartments.

I seem to notice an improvement of efficiency when giving qualifications to seamen and mates. One can do that via Sh3_Cmdr.
