IMO, SH3 does a poor job of modelling the crew and where they are stationed, especially the officers.
Type VII Standard Crew:
4 Officers
Commander
Leitender Ingenieur (Chief Engineer)
IWO - 1st watch officer
IIWO - 2nd watch officer
4 CPO's or WO's (StabsOber.......):
Oberbootsmatt (Bosun)..........aka "Chief of the Boat (COB)
Obersteurmann (Navigator).....served as IIIWO
Diesel Obermaschinist (Chief Diesel Mechanic)
Elecktro Obermaschinist (Chief Electric Mechanic)
12 POs
Depending on boat type and war year, boats could also carry a medical officer, commander-in-training, LI-in-training, officer cadets, etc. However, SH3 does not model these. Hell, we don't even get a cook!
