2.) Crew rotation should be automatic. Be sure to NOT leave your crew at battlestations after whatever action you were doing is over.
could you explain that a bit? you mean that (like in the picture below) the guys on the top row are on duty and the guys on the bottom row are resting? I have 2 men on the bow gun at all times, and I leave them regardless of what I'm doing - when I dive they just disappear, what are the repercussions of doing that?



A few more questions

3. when I go back to Midway to refit my sub, the game gets really laggy when I get close to port with time compression set to more than about x256. Is there a fix for this? It happens whenever I get to within 25 nautical miles of a port, not just midway.

4. How can I upgrade my submarine? I just got done with my 3rd patrol and I got a message that went something like: "As you pull your sub into the dock, the mechanics are already scratching their heads...the admiral is pissed because you lost your sub" (I don't understand this, I didn't lose it, although I did take some hits which I promply repaired) and I have an option to resign in good standing, or continue with my career in a new sub

Is this the game's way of assigning me to a better submarine as I progress through the game? The new sub is a bit better, the first one had 4 bow torpedo tubes and 2 stern, while the new sub has 6 and 4 respectively. Below is a screenshot of what upgrades I currently have available, as you can see, it's not much and I don't see the option for a second AA gun, another deck gun, or any new types of torpedoes. Do more upgrades become available later? or are these all the upgrades there are for this specific submarine?

(sorry about the small screenshot, I'm trying to keep this forum-friendly)



5. What does the large circle around the ship in the picture below indicate? His line of visual sight? or his surface radar? Destroyers have 3 of those circles, I know the innermost one (the smallest is their sonar, I learned that very quickly :P) but what about the other two?



More questions to come! Stay tuned

Again, thanks in advance!

btw, I love these smileys
