Qualifications.....
As I very rarely start my career at the beginning of the war I use SH3Cmdr to give my crew their qualifications.
Conning Tower - 1xOfficer & 4xPetty Officer (watchman)
Radio/Hydrophone - 2xPetty Officer (radio)
Fore Torp - 4xPetty Officer
Aft Torp - 2xPetty Officer
Engine Room - 1xOfficer 2xPetty Officer
Deck Gun - 1xPetty Officer
Flak Gun - 3/4xPetty Officer
The remaining Petty Officers usually go on repair duty with the leftover slots for each compartment being taken up by Seamen. My Watch officer also has Deck&Flak Gun qualifications & my Engineering Officer has Torp & Repair qualifications.
Of course being rather partial to the IX boats I have a lot of crew to play with.
These qualifications are usually added over the space of 4-5 patrols through SH3Cmdr. I figure as I'm starting Mid-War that I can pick and choose who I want on my boat.
