Also I hope they put in the helmsman this time.
I agree. It always looks a little silly making turns with nobody there.
I ran a little test today. Started a new career, and just for squirts and giggles, pulled the sailors out of the control room leaving only the officers, before leaving base. When I started in my subpen, sure enough the sailors were absent from diving stations. I ordered periscope depth. I thought I would get the obligatory "Not enough crew in yada yada . ." message, but the chief responded, and the planes functioned by themselves diving the boat. I dont know what the crew efficiency level was because I use the "Longer U-Boat Repair Times" mod religiously, which disables the green bar. I went all over the boat and came back and the crew was still not present, although the compartment was fully functional. Then when I went to the Crew Management screen, the crew was warped to the Control Room like a magnet, and super glued to those positions. So it seems this issue is tied directly to that screen. :hmm: Maybe there's a mod in there somewhere, itching to get out.
