What does morale and resilience do in the game?

Silver_Silence · 09-06-08, 08:40 PM

We know the fatigue attribute well enough, but what about morale and resilience?
Do they do anything important?

Medic is known to rise morale. How many of that do I need in a u-boat? Is it worth it?
What does all those different medals do to the crew?
Is it ever possible for me the captain to receive a wound badge even tho I am immortal?

thx

From what I've seen, it doesn't seem to do much. Maybe it does affect the overall efficiency of the crew.

Usually during real patrols,medics were rare and only carried on typeIX boots going on long journeys,in the game I never bother with them,I'd rather give the P.O a repair ability,much better use to me

I don't think you as the skipper will ever get a wound badge,unless of course you play GWX like me,with a bit to much beer inside me

:rotfl:going to get a beer,hearing something going on ingame and making a mad dash back to the puter is not advised

Real doctors were indeed rare on U-boats, if a serious problem arose the captain had to radio for help and hope there was a boat with a doctor aboard in the reasonable vicinity. However, every U-boat had a "Sanitäter" which you could translate as a male nurse, these guys knew some things about medical treatement, could stitch one together but they could not operate like a doctor could. Although I suspect they did things beyond their work if the situtation demanded it (like closing a bleeding vain and stuff like that).

Once you can start passing out German Crosses in Gold, those crew members become "invincible" or they will never need rest. Each medal passed out will raise the effectiveness of that compartment the crew member is in.

I always found the fatigue thing a little ridicules as in a real submarine they are working in shifts rather then being all on the job at the same time.

They should slow down the fatigue, therefore making them that little bit more efficient.

You should give SH4 a try. They fixed that part.
