Well, its back to a noobie question, i'm afraid.
Trying to get my head around Crew Management.
Should I use SH3C ('THE' Commander) exclusively for crew management, or continue to go to the Barracks etc from my 'office' pre or post-mission within SH3 GWX3.0? Or both?
There are some significant restrictions from within SH3, which in some ways seem more believable. For example, SH3 only lets me add one qualification per patrol. This means I really have to be on my toes re crew exhaustion v. compartment efficiency, whereas SH3 lets me give everyone in the whole crew multiple qualifications from the first cruise or two. Was this intended? This seems to give me a MUCH better crew than I deserve.
In addition, I, as the commander, seem able to pass out as many awards as I like to the whole crew (after their first patrol with me), whereas, SH3 severly limits the number of awards (seems more like it), though allows the commander to assign who they go to. Again, is this what SH3C intended to do? Would virtually the whole crew really have got Iron Crosses after a successful mission if The Old Man was in a particularly generous mood (or had visited Munich during Oktoberfest while deciding)? On this point I admit to being historically bog ignorant (but am curious).
