During real operations there was just two men per engine room. I guess one crewman could run the engines while the other is in the head. :hmm: Yep, according to Tim Calvert (friend of mine who served on the diesels and a engineman)....two men per engine room. Being as the game does not recognize 4 engines, just a set of two, then it is logical that one man could run the engines. In the engine room, the switches and leavers are across from each other on each individual engine. It is entirely possible for one man to handle both. In fact, if I stretch out my arms in the USS Torsk from engine to engine, I can touch all buttons and leavers to work the two engines.
