Greetings and Salutations ,

I wish to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude to one and all , who have transformed Silent Hunter 3 into one of the most captivating
sim games I have had the enjoyment to play .

I thank those who have made suggestions , to make the simulation as
realistic as possible and those who have the talent to render these suggestions into reality as demonstrated via the numerous mods that are offered on this site . I regret not having this talent , I must admit that an electric can-opener still amazes me !!!!

I do however have a suggestion for the upcoming SH5 , I would enjoy the sim if an automatic crew change would be installed as seen in SH4 , this would eliminate the need of baby-sitting the crew which is rather annoying in SH3 .

Once again thank-you to one and all and looking forward to SH5 and the mods that may arise from this sim .

We who are about to dive , salute you !

I personally am quite confident that this is a feature that we will see in SH5... so rest easy, im sure your request has long since been granted

Since this was one of the biggest gripes in SH3, and thus addressed by the devs in SH4, I'm fairly confident that they will not go backwards in this functionality. Let's just hope they get the German watch system correct.

Quoted from the RealFleetBoat User Manual v1.52 "It reality, German u-boats had two watches: Port and Starboard. From 0800 to 2000 hours, the watches rotated every four hours. From 2000 to 0800 hours, the watch rotated every six hours."

I think the stock watch system of the fleet boats is hard coded so that the above system cannot be used with u-boats in SH4.

What were their duties while submerged?

play cards and await resurfacing?

Not sure, to be honest.

Presumably they would have continued the watch rotations whilst submerged, but I have no idea what their duties would have been - perhaps general maintenance roles? Need someone more knowledgeable to answer this!
