Crew Fatigue and You

[Malwulf]

Hello all,

I just recently got my copy of Silent Hunter 3 properly modded and just discovered the glory that is SH3 Commander! The amount of options is absolutely amazing, however I am a bit concerned regarding the 'Fatigue Model'.

I am using the latest version of GWX which appears to have its own modified Fatigue System, however coming from Silent Hunter 5 I have not really dealt with a system like this before. So to my question:

As a new player (who goes for realism) would you advise using the GWX Fatigue Model or disabling the Fatigue system entirely? I just started a patrol using the GWX system and discovered that I have no replacement officers for when they get tired, so this has caused a bit of confusion. Should I draft more crew when starting a new patrol?

Long story short: GWX Fatigue system worth it, or should I just disable Fatigue so the gameplay is more like SH4, SH5?

Thanks in advance!
