Minimum effeciency and Compartment effects.
The minimum effeciency effect on the engine & torpedo compartment is obvious, the boat stops moving forward & torpedos do not load.
Due to the shortness to which the original crew could function, certain areas were made to continue to function even after reaching minimum effeciency. Though they 'function', there is a minimum effeciency effect on these compartments that is not so obvious.
The Command Room...
The minimum effeciency effects the ability of maintaining the periscope depth in non smooth water. Essentially, you are more likely to broach the surface.
The Bridge...
The minimum effeciency effects the ability to spot ships and planes. It does not stop them from spotting, not does it stop them from spotting long distance. What does happen is that the bridge watch are less likely to spot something until it gets closer.
