It really doesent matter if they were on watch or not. :doh:

Yeah, that's what I heard as well, i.e., it affects their morale, which affects their performance, etc (same for promotions, I guess).

BTW, shot down another search plane last night. Damn thing fell with a thunderous splash about 100 yards off my port beam. When I checked for wounded or damage status, saw that the guy with the successful kill at the AA gun station (aft) had a 'promotion' tag on his image.

I like this guy! No, not THAT way. I like the way he's a deadly shot. :doh:

Running low on ammo, heading back to the Solomon Islands (still).

SHIV Commander would probably resolve this issue. Unfortunately it's not on the radar screen yet (pun intended). I'd have a crack myself but am unfamiliar with some of the modern programming languages (e.g. Delphi etc). We'll have to wait until one of the modder's has the time and inclination to address this type of thing.
I, for one, am willing to wait given the great mods that have been produced so far. An SHIV version of SH3 Commander would add SO much to the game on top of everything so far. I'm still sitting using Ver 1.4 with TMO simply because it's so enjoyable (and challenging), an SHIV Commander would be the icing on the cake.
:up:

Keep an eye there for updates.

You can delete those, you know. Click the 'Edit' button, and 'Delete' is one of the options.

A little off topic but...

If I remember corrrectly the person whom originally created SH3 Commander was brow beat by nit picks, complaints, and requests by the community at large and vowed 'never again'
