The other thing that I've noticed is that the hydroplane operators seem to leave their station and join the deck watch. I may be wrong, but I thought it was standard practice at the time to have the planes constantly manned in case of an emergency dive?
It is possible to add additional crew members. I've got as far as getting them to show up in the sub, but haven't got them fully funtional yet. The problem is finding where to put them. Given the waypoints and animations available, there's really just no unused spots to put them other than having them just loiter in the passageway. Untill/unless we figure out how to add waypoints, it's not really practical to add crewmen.

I've done a bit of research on crew stations and having the hydroplane operators be the bridge crew when on the surface is correct. In case of a crash dive, the ballast operator would step over and hit full down on the planes.
