I've been lucky enough to be "in the area" for that first fox news trafic, the one about he task force leaving Cam Ranh bay (sp?). If you happen to be in range, and lucky enough to find 'em...

Thank you!

I should have asked a couple of careers ago, lol.

you could put this in the upc of the sub you are using
MaxPettyOfficers=32 ; max number of crewmembers over rank 4
MaxOfficers=16 ; max number of crewmembers over rank 7
change the numbers to what you want it will allow more officers or pettyofficers than are normally allowed.

The stock game is not realistic it has has a coded limit of 6 Chiefs and officers and 32 Petty Officers. It exceeds this limit when it first stocks the boat with crew. It will not allow you to replace one until you reduce the crew to "Limit- 1". When you selected your boat the came stocked it with 12 officers and chiefs so you would have to dismiss 7 officers or chiefs before you could add the one. This is a bug that is not realistic for fleet submarines. This limit only applies to you the game engine ignores it for stocking and promotions.

Here is a little more detail on what jmardlin wrote. This example is for a Gato class Sub. Open this folder in the Sh4 Folder/Data/Submarine/NSS_Gato. Open the file NSS_Gato.upc and add the following lines after the entry MenuSilhouetteTextureName.
MaxPettyOfficers=52 ; max number of crewmembers over rank 4
MaxOfficers=14 ; max number of crewmembers over rank 7
This is a historically correct number drawn from the personnel records of WW2 Gato class subs war patrols. You can change the numbers to anything you want to tailor the game the way you want to play. On a side note crew size averaged 83 so fill as many of the slots as you want with non-ratings.

This is something that was added for the the uboat expansion. 1.4 and earlier did not have limits on the above, we need to find where to globally change it.
