Bout 5 patrols ago I went below the min # of seaman needed after promoting officers off my boat to their own commands (and all the subsequent promotions that backfilled their positions) and finally had to take on new crewmen. Having a full crew felt crowded, with the realistic repair time mod now reducing your CO2 production proportionally when you have a less than full crew has made it much easier to more comfortably stay submerged before even thinking of trying to risk surfacing for air in risky situations.
I do like the idea of adding more officers that are all in training (fanrich's); it would be more helpful by allowing for the creation of more realistic officers (not ones that have cherry picked skillsets). Every boat would have at least one or two aboard; something impossible to realistically model with the game parameters (since they're treated like a full blown officer and not a officer candidate).
