Things that can affect your crew’s proficiency:
Morale: You never have a fresh crew. Morale in this game is like an hour glass. You constantly lose it. Depending on your actions, you can lose more than normal. Loading games can use up more as a defect.
Speed: if you are going too fast, Benno your hydrophone guy will be deaf by percentages. Go all stop often!
Depth: if you are using TWoS 2.9 or higher (never used lower myself), you need to dive deeper than 20 meters to get a better read from Benno. 40m or deeper for best hydrophone read. I have personally tested this with great results.
Watch crew: the best way I can say this... the faster the TC you use, the more likely you will run across planes and ships without any warning. I never go past 128TC. The worst I get at 128, are planes get close, the TC drops to 1, but no announcement of the plane! So I dive for safety.
