Default crew efficiency

Guten Tag,

I've read your comments with great interest.

I've survived 19 missions and amassed enough renown to get into the Type XXI. During this long process my crewaccumulated enough medals to see all who survived at least 8 missions with the cross in gold. All stations are now manned without need to switch crew for rest periods. Not realistic to be sure, but very convenient to manage.

Could I use SH3 Commander to appropriately fit into this setting?

Good Hunting,

It's also cool to see a "personnel report" for your character.

But other than that, I don't use it for much.

To me, a huge part of the draw of the game is clawing your way, patrol after patrol, to earning qualifications, ranks, and awards - as the game metes them out - trying to build a great crew that is efficient and resists fatigue. It takes about 10-15 patrols to do this. And trying to choose the right next qualification you really need vs. another one is cool also, trying to balance your crew.

If you use SH3 Commander to just dish them all out as you feel like it, it removes a big compelling part of the game for me.
