Most important is watch deck.I must take other slots buddies there.

I thought too it is SH4 thing there are so many crew member.
If things goes mad ,i put more crew there.

Original infos by Vesikko:Because boat was so small,crew must do several
posts!

SH4 "crew management" was built the way it was because of the complaints that the devs received about the SH3 way of doing "crew management", that it was taking up too much player time on the submarine. Usually, one of the senior officers would take care of the crew rotation, and the skipper was left to figuring where they would go, and how they would do it. The shortcoming of the SH4 way is that you have to have positions "manned", or else they do not function. On a Type II, you only need one fellow for the AA gun initially, and really, you would be firing and re-loading the bow and aft torpedo tubes...

You are welcome. It is still difficult to find the traffic by sight. I just did that 96 hours off Estonia, and I had to go below torpedo depth and use the sonar to find anything, and even with that, I still couldn't catch anything... the Type II just doesn't have the legs to carry it very fast... - After completing my assignment, I went to another area just a pinch north of there, and sat in the traffic lanes - almost taking out some neutrals by accident! One must keep up with those radio messages to find out who is on first base...
