AVH- does putting crew in the nose actually do anything? That is meant as a serious question.

From experimentation and actual game play observation it seems to, yes. I've had several occassions where I noticed a slight but definite tendancy to 'nose-down' when I manned the forward compartments.
Can't find the thread where I posted the screenshots, but the one occassion I'd been running on the surface, deck awash, towards a convoy for a surface-run attack approach, and I couldn't get rid of the bow spray. If I crept the depth down, I'd slip to submerged before the spray would vanish, as the bow kept remaining just above the surface.
On a whim I fully manned the forward torpedo room and the bow compartment, and slid everyone as far forward as I could, and was shocked (albeit pleased
) to see the bow spray finally disappear as the nose of the boat slipped under and stayed under. As I'd changed nothing else at all but where the crew were all I can assume is that, yes, somehow where your crew is located does effect trim and weight distribution.
