Firstly, I want to mention I was a bit of an idiot when I went on my first patrol. I didn't realize my boat's complement wasn't up to full muster, so I didn't recruit to fill out the ranks. Also, I didn't dismiss any of my four "default" officers, so I have three guys w/the helm qualification. Is that too many? I might have wanted another guy w/something else.
Anyway, I finally finished the aforementioned 1st patrol, and I have the following things to dispense:
4 Iron Crosses 2nd Class
4 Promotions (I think I'll combine these two clusters to promote all of my officers)
19 U-Boat Front Clasps
5 U-Boat War Badges
I looked up what the Front Clasp does on the wiki community manual. I think there may be some confusion, there, and the War Badge is actually the Front Clasp. Anyway, I guess I'll give four out of five of the War Badges to the officers and spread the rest among the warrant officers and sailors (in that order)
I think I'll give my one qualification either to my Watch Officer (Flak) or give it to a Warrant Officer (Radioman), though I'm not sure which will give me the best return. Does the Radioman qualification just cover the radio/radar station, or sonar as well (I'd think just the one, given the name)?
I also need to recruit an officer. I'm going to get a bargain basement guy w/one qualification. I was thinking either Machinist or Torpedoman.
Anyway, any suggestions would be appreciated!!! :help:
