Crew Promotion and Awards?

sonicninja · 01-08-09, 02:48 PM

Ahoy, i have a question regarding promotions, medals and awards:-

Im now into my 14th Patrol in 1942, on return from patrols i tend to select the torpedo men and gunners for awards and medals and i have promoted my most experienced officers. Is this the correct way to manage your crew, all of the men seem quite happy in terms of morale but 90% of my Petty Officers and Seaman now seem well overdue for promotion when you look at thier experience levels.
Im wondering if these lack of prospects and medals for the more junior members of my boat will effect thier performance or am i just looking into the game too deeply?

yours aye

SH3 Commander (I've said that SO many times :P) will let you change your crew's stuff and do other cool things like make a personnel file for your captain, and edit patrol logs.

If you don't want SH3 Comander for some strange reason, you can always manhandle your crew cfg, though this is unbelievably time-consuming.

Yep.

To answer the original poster's question: No, being passed over for promotion or award does not have any detrimental effects on the crew. Rewarding them, on the other hand, does have benefits.

My policy is to award medals & promotions to officers first, then petty officers and finally, seamen. If you use SH3 Cmdr you can often squeeze a few more U-Boat War Badges out of BdU at the end of a successful patrol in the Crew Management section...

My first awards goes to the Engineering department, and then the Sonar/radio department. Hunting and evasion can't work well without them.
