i feel like a dunce asking this question.

where is the RPM gauge? it is either in the control room or the conning tower, or both, but i cannot find it by browsing through the various gauges.

also, i just witnessed something i have never seen previously.
we attacked a british convoy in the open ocean, west of Perth-Fremantle and we suffered some equipment damage. once we had eluded the verdampt escorts, we surfaced and i assigned certain crewmen to man the topside weapons in order to repair the damage they had suffered. then, i saved the game and exited.
a while later, i launched SH4 and reloaded the saved game only to discover that all of the crewmen i assigned to repair the topside weapons were dead. really strange, eh?
so, i repositioned the men into the crew berthing area, saved the game and exited SH4. i relaunched and reloaded and everyone was hale and healthy once again. except for the topside weapons, which were still damaged.
ever seen this behaviour previously?
