I think the way you are playing, you'll be better off turning off fatigue. Some people like to manage crew fatigue, others don't, and it's not an automatic process.

You didn't mention which fatigue model you were using. The standard GWX 8 hour fatigue model takes over 12 hours to get the red exclamation mark for some compartments, with crews recovering in 3 to 4 hours. Stock game takes about 2 hours but the crews recover very quickly, under an hour. Combat stations like the torpedo rooms tend to have higher fatigue rates, and bad weather is a real killer. The stock game model appears to be intended that you are only in low time compression during combat.

There are two fatigue models in SH3Commander where you do not recover fatigue at all. The two RUB (Real U-Boat) models assume fatigue is combat stress, which only accumulates, and cannot be recovered by resting. If you were watching the crew screen and no one was recovering fatigue, you may have been using one of these.

Fatigue only accumulates or is recovered if the time compression is at or below the setting for 3DRender, which defaults to 32x. If you're watching the crew screen, you won't be able to go above this time compression setting there.
