Crew Management Questions

As far as Crew Management how does it work exactly?? Like qaulified people (torpedoe men) raise the efficiency of the area theyre qaul'd in ?? and Officers raise it no matter what? especially if theyre qaulified??

What about the green bar above each compartment, say I have the conning tower with 2 men on but full green bar, (a watch officer and a qaul'd watch petty officer) do putting more men increase the efficiency even more??

And do medals and badges do anything besides looking nice assigned to anybody?

Just wondering guys thanks?

Anyone extra will raise the efficiency a little, even plain old sailors. Unqualified raise it about the same, whether sailors, officers or POs. Qualified of course is better.

If the green bar is full, it can't get any better.

Medals and badges improve morale, which helps with how long they last before overcome with fatigue. The best thing in that respect is experience - the more they have, the better they work.

Btw I got DBSM working however curiously after I got it. I started getting CTD's I like it but I may just leave it alone for now, I was on patrol to BF 29 Pre War so I figured Id use the dover strait, right as I was passing through I got a CTD. so Im not too sure.

Guten Abend, Herr Smith,

The benefit of a specialist rating at a given station increases with rank. One of the best qualifications to award first is the Mechaniker (different from the Maschinist, who works in the Engine Room) -- you will want that guy on your Damage Control Team!

Medals and promotions will give small increases in Morale, maybe Stamina, too. Not nearly as valuable as qualifications, IMHO.

Mach's gut!

Danke, thankfully I still remember some Deustche (spelling?) from my highschool classes

But I do like giving an officer Mechaniker first (repair if Im right?) it makes the Damage Control team work soooooo much quicker

Remember this too:

Qualifications for sailors don't work, so don't bother except for eye-candy.

Only the first (top) qualification for PO's count.

ALL officer qualifcations count, except the "sparky" qualification never works for officers.

The Helmsman qualification has no effect (it increases control room efficiency, but so do other qualifications that also have practical application elsewhere).

Actually, there is a ton of information about this in many other threads on the forum; seek and you shall (almost always) find.
