Ahoy Skipper, this is what I found on another forum:
One time I found a thread that listed the qualifications by compartment but I can't remember where. Operating under the senior curse I can't remember the person who worked it out to give him or her credit. Hope this helps.

heres what stats effect what compartment.

Torpedo Compartment-effected by Mechanic and Guns stats.

Engine compartment-effected by mechanic and electric stats.

Command compartment-effected by Mechanic, Electric, and Watchman stats.

Sensor compartment-effected by Electric and Watchmen stats.

Damage Control is effected by Mechanic, Electric, and Guns Stats.

Guns-is affected by Guns stats.

Deck Watch-effected by Watchman stats.

Officers slots are located in the Command Room and give bonus to the entire vessel.

Pick the crewman with the best leadership for the leader slots as they give compartment bonuses. The officers in the command Room gain a bonus for the entire sub.

Damage Control appears to favor the engine Specialization Qualification. pro-tip for those who get damaged often, put a Engine specialist as your Damage Control leader.

Hope this will help you out.

Cheers

How does one get a pharmacist? Is this part of a mod or 1.5?:hmm:

Hi Schroeder, in my career the medic came during a patrol (as well as the radarman and the advanced engine crewmembers.)
I think they got a certain level of experience.

I only recruited that yellow torpedo crewmember (cuts loading time in half. and the carrot eating watchmember.) All the rest I got during patrols.



But I'm playing with the U-boat missions (V1.5) and with MODS, from the beginning (I started to play this game some weeks ago.) so I don't know if it's MOD or 1.5 related.

Hope this helped....

cheers

ps: As you can see I'm saving for a new conning tower hahaha:rotfl:

It's free. You get it when your boat gets a refit, which is a pretty random event. Using the search you'll find Ducimus' research on the subject.

My torpedo crewmember became a pharmacist/Medic or Corpsman during a patrol (I thought Navy personel called their "medic" a corpsman).
If the green cross of the pharmacist is dark green, he's in the wrong compartment. When it's light green he's in the correct compartment. If you Pharmacist is light green in all compartments then he isn't yet specialist in a compartment. When he does just put him in the right one.

I'm not sure if he heals the entire boat or just the compartment that he's in. But you can always sent the wounded to the compartment he's in.

Hi Fincuan, thanks for the reply.
I did read his page (I think it's this page you reffer to? http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...=conning+tower)
i had already bookmarked it

If I read correctly my gato bathtub should get an upgrade somewhere in 1943. I did't get a renown of 800 during a patrol. It's already 1943 feb. in my career... So it can't take long for me to get my upgrade. I guess I got a little nervous

Thanks.

[Fincuan]

Exactly that thread, lot's of good information there

One thing about renown: Like getting new commands(new subs), refits also seem to depend on renown as Duci wrote in that thread. You don't, however, need to "save" renown to make things happen. In the case of new subs and higher ranks the game looks at your accumulated renown when deciding whether you deserve better or not. That means you are free to spend all your renown on upgrades and torpedoes right now or save it to spend it on them later, but there's no need to save it in order to make progress in the game. There might be other factors too, like the amount of patrols, but accumulated renown is definitely a major one.

Thanks again Fincuan, Then I'm gonna save that renown for those special crewmembers.

I started my career with the S-18 boat from Manilla. During my first patrol my base was changed to Surabaya. From there i begun my 2nd patrol and during this one my base was changed to Perth-Fremantle. When I docked there I was offered a new Class, A Porpoise Class (USS-Pike SS-173)
After I made my 3rd patrol I was offered a new subagain. This was the USS DRUM Gato Class. Suddenly my base was changed to Pearl Harbor.
I did my 4th patrol and during that patrol my base was changed to Midway.

I want to stay with the Drum. I like this sub, Because i thing that the next class (balao) is strong. So i will not accept a newer class and try to finish the war with the Drum.
I like the name because I used to smoke tabacco called DRUM.

thanks again for the info...happy hunting.
