Early signs of dementia?

First buy is the KDB Hydrophones, then it's a long time before Radar becomes available.
Like Steve, I don't do engine upgrades, and I don't buy crew.

I let SH3 Commander decide my starting crew and enlist the noobs to build up. I have realistic, random crew set and I like getting attached to my guys as the career progresses. As far as equipment goes, the first thing is the KDB and I get further upgrades if their renown cost doesn't cause me to drop a rank, the values of which I've edited so I don't get promotions/awards as easily as stock. Radar is something I steer clear of until late in the war as it doesn't work too well (for me anyway), and it just seems to act as a beacon to the allies, shouting 'here I am, come get me!!'.

Although I normally dive with incoming aircraft, I still upgrade my AA guns for that time when I get caught short or have to surface due to damage, so I have a better chance of duking it out, they normally get used on small fishing boats and sloops though.

If Commander decides to lose one of my higher ranked officers I'll spend a little renown replacing him with an equivalent rank/skill level, but will do this less in the later years to reflect lack of personnel.

Early war?
A good watch crew, followed closely by a good 'soung guy' (uuurgh)
