A better definition of crew specializations I think is also needed, if we're to believe these are to represent real-world ratings:
- American crews (change 1): create a new speciality called Electrician, instead of the current system, where electricians and machinists are lumped together. To make this change worthwhile, separate the motor compartment from the diesel compartments, like it is in SH3.
- American crews: (change 2): get rid of the "Lookout" (or whatever it's called in stock) specialty and re-name it "Quartermaster" (giving it the proper icon as well). These were, after all, the petty officers that stood watch on the bridge.
- German crews: again, change the Lookout specialty name, but this time to Boatswain (or Bootsmann, for those who prefer the German spelling.
).
- For both crew sets: get rid of the Command specialty. It's far too generic and should be replaced by the Machinist specialty (both sides utilized Machinists in the control room on every watch). Add a Navigator specialty to represent the Steuermann on the German side and the XO and QMs responsible for Navigation on the American side.
