 Man - how you can dismiss an officer which is with you from 1-st patrol?
That is an element of RPG - when your crew takes experience with
you, with each patrol completed
For me the greatest catastrophy during patrol is loss of just one crewman - when just one matrose dies, there is only exit and loading savegame.
Nothing can replacing a crewman after 10 patrols
However i think that crew takes experience too fast - someone could
make a mod which will randomise gained experience.
UFF.
Sorry for disturbing your thread

I understand you point very good. I'd like to keep my men from the very start to end with me... but you know, unless I get Knight's Cross with Gold Oak Leaves, Swords And Diamonds, it's not me whi decides about my crew when in base.

BdU has his own plans and I can do nothing about it. He could have all my crew transfered if he wanted, but fortunately he usually takes only like 1 officer, 1-2 petties and 2-4 sailors per patrol. Some of them just retire, some go to other boats to share their experience with newbies, some have accidents.
The "dismissed" officer was a true sea wolf compared to me, with 7 battle patrols done (and me 0). He was assigned to U-95 only for her first patrol under my command, to be transfered immediately on finish. If he was to stay aboard, it'd feel strange... much older one, the same rank as me, much more experience, and it's me who commands? No.
