Default Some things I just don't get:

Having a decent career but there are a few things that are a bit bothersome.
1-I've got a ton of promotion points but everybody is at max level? Or so it seems.
2-Also sunk tons of ships, yet I only have the first 2 awards as the Captain.
3-Only one Iron Cross for all of the crew. Can't they get more awards and promotions?
4-How do you get the crew AA gun to fire on their own and for that matter the deck gun also?
5-Can you have wolf-pack attacks in game?

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.....Mahalo.....

I was reading something about looking in the binocs and "space" firing. Does that work with the AA guys? In other words pick up the attacking planes with the binocs (as Cpt) hit space bar to have your manned AA crew fire at the incoming targets (planes)? Please say yes or no...and I'll try it as soon as possible! Mahalo.

Yes. Problem is that auto attack will stay on, so they will start to shot at any nearby target, no matter if is a a merchant, escort, plane. The crew is exactly as it is in any Hollywood movie, bunch of retards. To avoid this, best is to ask the WO to man the deck or AA gun and after the job is done, ask him to order the retards to go back sleeping.

I need to bump this thread because I could use some answers on my first three questions. With the career I'm in at the moment besides NO medals since the first two...I've sunk a ton of merchant shipping, mostly big tankers, an aircraft carrier, a Battleship, a couple of cruisers and quite a few destroyers as well as several aircraft...what does it take to up my medals?
When does the decoy launcher come in to play for the U-Boats?

Mahalo, for any help

Sadly, I am afraid that there are no answers for you. I have realized the same things that you are pointing out(meaning 1-3), and as far as I know, there are no solutions out for any of them right now. Unfortunately, no one has done extensive work on the campaign/crew management yet.
