A new promising overhaul MOD for CW

I wrote a code for crew leveling system, in which once submarine gains a level, a random crew division(?) gains a point and corresponding bonus is applied. On russian ships those divisions are called "boevaya chast'"(боевая часть). I'm using 4 out of 7:
boevaya chast-1 Navigation
boevaya chast-3 Mine/Torpedo Weapons
boevaya chast-5 Electromechanical
boevaya chast-7 Radio engineering

So question is how can I call those divisions(?) in human English)? What similar divisions are on US subs and how do they called?

How it will look ingame:

P.S It seems that forum do not accept images from LightShot's server, and I do not really want to use an image hosting... So direct links instead of images...

We have Departments and Divisions. Each Department will have several Divisions that make it up. For example Weapons Department would be made of Sonar, Fire Control, and Torpedomen. Looking at your screenshots I'd say you'd want to go with Divisions as your English equivalent.

Thank you for your answer! Could you please suggest a names for divisions? Probably not all divisions are 100% compatible with chosen bonuses, but at least closest variants?

I guess it depends on what bonuses you want to do, with a full list I could match up divisions better.

Well, for now we have only bonuses showed on screens

БЧ-1 - штурманская:
- Periscope autoposition error:
- Periscope autoposition speed:

БЧ-3 - минно-торпедная:
- Tube reload is X seconds faster.
- Noisemaker reload is X seconds faster.

БЧ-5 — электромеханическая:
- System repair speed: + X%
- Water pumping speed + X%
- Self noise reduction: - X db

БЧ-7 — радиотехническая:
- Radar range: + X km
- Signal noise from speed (on sensors monitor)

БЧ-1 - штурманская:
- Periscope autoposition error:
- Periscope autoposition speed:

I think Fire Control would fit this one best.

БЧ-3 - минно-торпедная:
- Tube reload is X seconds faster.
- Noisemaker reload is X seconds faster.

Torpedomen without a doubt

БЧ-5 — электромеханическая:
- System repair speed: + X%
- Water pumping speed + X%
- Self noise reduction: - X db

The first two are general damage control, but could be a good fit for Auxiliary. The last one doesn't fit any specific division.

БЧ-7 — радиотехническая:
- Radar range: + X km
- Signal noise from speed (on sensors monitor)

Navigation for radar range. Signal noise from speed I assume is the sensor degradation from going faster. Self noise reduction and Signal noise from speed would go good together in their own General category. Marine growth on the hull would contribute to both factors.

@ETR3(SS)
Thank you very much! This helped me a lot. I had to orient on russian divisions so there will be some inconsistencies in division name and bonuses provided, but at least it will look more realistic now)

looks good this add,s even more Variables to game
