A couple of things. Make sure you do not keep the crew at battle stations too long. That could affect them. The crew will gain experience as you complete patrols so they will get more efficient. I usually do not take on aircraft until I have a Baleo class upgraded with 40mm guns. Then the crew usually decimates any aircraft as long as I am not being swarmed if I am in the vicinity of an enemy task force. Then it is crash dive time... Save your game often so you can re start from a save point if you make an error and want to make a different attack approach. The crew you can add will have zero experience. When I start a new career I always check to make sure I have the best watchstanders for lookouts and the best gunners for the anti aircraft guns and the forward torpedo room. Any lookout with a proficiency of less than 30 I put in the damage control section and i make sure I have at least 30 to 32 proficiency for a lookout or higher. Gun experience I like 50 or higher.
