Again, I really want to thank you for your long and detailled information about the crew management feature.
Just to make myself perfectly clear, though, I just want to stress the fact I never did write that I was going "real time". I am going at 128x TC max... It's still not very fast but I am working on another computer while I'm on patrol. So, yes, I have time...
Your explanations will help me in trying to master this crew management. It could have been explained in the manual, though (I got the useless Canadian 48 pages one). We are fortunate to have skippers like you on this forum...

Well, I am probably the happy owner of a special edition made just for Canadians...
Here is what I did the 3 times my problem happened:
(Full realism except external camera)
- I went surface at night, standard speed.
- I went periscope depth during daylight, stationary.
- Never ordered Battlestations nor deck gun nor AA...
- On the first two patrol with sleeping crew problem, I saved once, while surfaced.
- On the third patrol, I never saved.
- All three times, once I was less than 25 nm from the mission objective (star) off Honshu Island, my sub stopped. All orders received "Unable to comply" answer.
- My COMPLETE crew was asleep (this means all 3 watches, the Damage repair team, and the deckgun and AA guys). All icons were showing ZZZZZ...
That's it.
I am going to try to apply your suggestions. Again, thanks.
