I don't mind the management part but what gives me the desire to mod the basic cfg (I will now try that) is the simple fact we continually improve our crew making them almost supermen by patrol 15 and in real life experienced crew would be transferred to new U-boats and replaced by rookies.
We therefore concentrate on (as an example) getting four chiefs with torpedo ratings that between them are all that is needed to load the fish in both rooms as this reduces the number of guys we have to move.
If the no fatigue modding works I can just leave a reaslistic number of ratings where they should be and have a full compliment instead of the 41 guys (Minimum # allowed seamen) that are all special forces guys.
I can then pretend they rotate and that may not be the same thing but it would be closer to real than he current system.
I use to be a Schlachtboot attacking convoys with 20+ escorts (My own modding) sometimes spending many hours real time maneuvering to constant depth charge bombardments always succumbing eventually.
It was Erich Hartmann highest scoring fighter pilot in history who realized luck would run out of the best dog fighter and suggested being a sneaky assassin was safer.
I have adopted a stay away from heavily guarded convoys, shoot from outside, take what I can and be gone and ply the safer less guarded waters.
After Pauchenschlag I head down to the Capetown/Montevideo route and then the Brazil/Freetown route making the North Atlantic a forgotten zone where in the happy times I spent all my time in a type7C
Kind of funny but I really got shell shocked form all the depth charging and just could not take the pressure anymore. I traded in my hand to hand combat attitude for a camouflaged sniper.
But, there is a realistic aspect because we have no Wolf-packs and one U-boat attacking a convoy ringed with 2 layers of escorts just did not happen per say so I have adopted tactics that better suit the game's limitations. (I switch to a Type9C end of 1941) and transfer to Norway mid 44 all this if I survive and having only completed one total war career in any GW (That one in GWX3.0gold) I give the what I try to do side.
