I have to first admit to being a little slow here being infinately more familiar with U-Boats then American submarines.

I have just realised how overstrength the crew are in this game compared to real life!

For example; I am currently using a Perch class boat (Porpoise in game). In real life such a vessel would have a crew of 5 officers and 45 enlisted ranks. The game defaults to 6 officers and over 60 crew.

My personal preference is to play a realistic based game and wonder if others have already tried reducing the crew to its correct levels?

Is this an old subject that for some reason I have been unable to find the threads for?

Views please.
