What duties did the uboat captain do , daily tasks , routines etc ?

Annatar · 09-05-09, 07:22 PM

His "daily task" was to keep the boat and his men in one piece. So while he didn't load the eels, plot solutions, steer the boat, maintain the engines, or cook the food, it was his ultimate responsibility to make sure that all of these things happened. He decided when the boat dived, when it surfaced, when radio reports would be sent and when attacks were made.

Your first duty will be ponying up $50.00 to $60.00

I think it was up to him to provide the dancing girls and all the alcohol.

What will we do?

--Stand around with our hands in our pockets during depth chargings and make wry jokes, maintaining our cool while everyone else loses theirs. And when one of them gets to far out of line? Pimpslap him with a Luger.

A true simulation of leadership.

I just hope it won`t be 20 times a day running around a sub tapping everyone on the head what a great job are they doing to increase morale...

LiveGoat · 09-05-09, 08:55 PM

That was my initial fear as well. But I'm sure it'll be toggleable or adjustable. It better be, anyway. If we could make it like fatigue is handled in SH3 Commander (as an option) that would be cool. Dungeon Keeper in a sub would get old for me after awhile.

Should that be the end result your final action should be to disable it or use the option to go to your bunk

That would totally suckify the game.

I hope that Ubi is not confusing simulation with role playing.

Curious. I wonder if under a really pressing and horrific depth charging there isn't a game play feature available where you have a crew member freak out? Probably not, but if morale were low enough that might be a scenario you would expect to crop up, maybe? Dunno.

Choose course and basic patrol routing. They choose target intercept courses, depths and speed to run at.

They may or may not set-up for the shot by relaying target data to whomever is operating the U-boat equlivelent of the TDC(I forgot what its called, its been awhile since I did U-Boats...Im more familiar with US subs). They dictate target engagement.

The Captain and 1st Officer will plan ship and crew managment decisions based on the various reports gathered from the various station/department leads.

They determine promotions.
