I've just learned that one wants to have the 3d TC less than any compression being used in the game...so setting 3d to 32 will ensure that rapid progression across empty seas at 512 will not result in collapsed crews every 10 minutes. Actually I'm looking at the NYGM 'Wolves at War' situation where, I think, one spends far too much time shuffling crew icons instead of thinking through strategy. I do not believe that sub commanders, either in the USN or the Kriegsmarine, handled detailed personnel problems... a job for the XO or COB. WatW is an outstanding product, except for this crew management stuff.
Thanks for the response. Always a pleasure to communicate with folks in SubSim and WatW.
By the way, why isn't there a calendar in the radio room of each sub so one can keep track of the day as well as time? Wouldn't it be nice to have a compass rose in an upper corner of the external camera view (F12) that conformed to the view? Have no idea how to create these things tho' someone must.
Thanks again.
Cordially,
