Question about trim...and more

Hi all.

I am an old hand at SH3. Played vanilla from 2005 and after a long break have come back to learn manual targeting and am currently enjoying the thrills of GWX 2.1.

I have been lurking on these forums for a long while and have finally actually joined. It is amazing to see the activity and creativity of this community. I hope I can contribute a little bit at least.

I have to questions. (before you slag me for not doing it...I have searched the forums but not been able to find the answers I am looking for.

)

- Does the crews actually actually affect the trim of the u-boat? Will I dive faster cramming them into the bow compartments. I seem to remember a comment concerning this on these forums but have not been able to find it again.

- Is there a distance limit for being awarded a sinking? (50 km?) It was less of an issue in vanilla since results were pretty instant. I play GMX 2.1 but without realistic sinking time, but it still takes more time than I am able to or willing to stick around on occasion.

While waitng for answers I am lamenting the demise of Lt.z.S Konstantin Klemp who after sinking a troop transport off Sochi suffered an accurate depth charging from the single escort that destroyed the port e-enigne and caused severe leaking in the bow compartments. Remaining power and emergency blows were not sufficient to surface the boat and it was lost with all hands.
