1. Officers are generalists. They have to learn everything or they don't go up the ladder. That said, on a given ship everybody has an assignment. The 1WO is the weapons officer; he assists the Captain with targeting and also is the morale and training officer. Lesser officers do have regular assignments: communications, navigation etc.
2. I do, just because it feels right to me.
3. I have yet to have a crew that good, especially after one patrol.

What is realistic? What is suggested? If officers had permanent stations (even if they might be able to cover another station if necessary), what were the qualifications they would require? What would a watch officer have, engines? Torp? NO, CE or weapons?

I always use the Oberleutnant as Chief (LI), and make sure he has engine and repair. I assign one Leutnant as 1WO and use him for weapons and watch, even if the game doesn't care. I use the other one for 2WO and give him watch and weapons as well, since I keep him on the bridge when using the guns. The Oberfanrich I make my navigator, just like Kriechbaum in
Das Boot.
Probably silly, but it makes me feel good.
