i think medals and qualifications are quite important.
give torpedoman qualifications for a few guys in the torpedo rooms and the green bar at the top of the section will improve.
im sure this gives faster loading times etc.
ive a couple of watchman qualifications for my guys on the bridge...my green bar is at full now.
obviously a radio qualification to your sonar and radio guy greatly increases thier abilities.
machinist quals for some in the engine room...same as above.
as for medals...this gives the experience a boost i think.....as said above ...the better more qualified your officers.....then the better performance in that compartment.
but for any bilge rat....give your sonarman the first qualification after yourt first patrol....he'l greatly improve on the hydrophones
