[REL] Realistic Crew Configs (For All Boats)

[LukeFF]

Realistic Crew Configs 1.2
===================


-DESCRIPTION:

This mod reconfigures the starting crew for all playable submarines in SH4. The stock crew configs are pretty close to reality, but there were a few errors, such as officers standing watch in locations where they shouldn't be. The crew configurations are based on real-world crew lists and other research conducted into looking at the duties of crewmen on board the submarines. The main changes are:

-Removal of officers from the engine rooms and the sensors station.
-Addition of one torpedo officer to the larger fleet boats.
-Removal of all crew from the deck gun and flak guns.
-Addition of Chief Petty Officers to the command room and the bow torpedo room.
-Reconfiguration of the watch crew and sensors stations.
-Addition of crew to the Damage Control Team. This represents the cooks and medical personnel on board the boat who would naturally assist in damage repair, should the need arise. Or, if you prefer, you can pull a Doris Miller and use guys from here for the deck and flak guns.


-ISSUES:

-None noted at this time.

-INSTALLATION:

JSGME Ready. For manual installation, extract the NSS_***.upc files to /Data/Submarine/NSS***, Crewmembers.upc to /Data/UPCData/UPCCrewData, and UnitParts****.upc to /Data/Submarine/UPCData/UPCUnitsData

-COMPATABILITY:

Tested only on 1.2, but there shouldn't be any issues using this with earlier versions of the game.

-CHANGE LOG:

1.1: changed radar operator position back to a Petty Officer position. Further research has revealed that sailors selected for radar training were immediately promoted to Seaman First Class, and upon completion of their schooling they were promoted to the rank of Radio Technician Second Class and transfered to active duty.

1.2 further adjustments based on extensive research into real-world crew lists and the duties of the crew.

NEW VERSION COMING WITH THE NEXT RELEASE OF RFB
