Leadership acts as a bonus for the whole repair crew so high leadership member in the first slot will increase the overall effectiveness. Be aware that only the first slot has any multiplicative-leadership effect.

I think that each repairable component has it's own mix of skills but mechanical is very important followed by electrical in terms of repair crew skill.

Fred, do you understand efficiency ratings...states something like
30/14 (+39) for each crewman...Never have understood them.

I play FOTRS. There have been recommendations to put specialized repairmen and a good leader in a compartment (conning tower) to repair damage. I understand it, and the explanaitions are logical. What about the damage crew slots that are located above the gun slots? They are ususally staffted with 3/4 sailors, but have rooom for several more. What do you do with those?

Haven't played FORS, but if it's the damage crew slots, fill em up before you go on patrol. If it doesn't have a Hogan's Alley, I leave one slot open so I can move men around.

What is a mouseover? Sounds like a makeover!

When you hold your mouse arrow over or simply click on the person, at the bottom of their details it will tell you if they're watch standing or repairing.

Still don't understand efficency ratings. At port they're full. Obviously they change during patrol, the sleep, states 0, the more you push them the higher they go, just don't know what the (+49) for example means

Actually in the Navy DC stands for Damage Control. The crew on DC is referred to as the Damage Control Party. Many a sailor has spent weekends on duty doing Damage Control drills.
