Where do you put 'excess' crew when submerged?

Nice Topic. Normally i have around 46/48 crewmembers for an 7C and i always stored some crew in the torpedoroom when submerged. But after an long attack they where out of fatique. But does it really matter if you put them in the diesel room?

Overboard.

Well I have "No Fatigue" set, so in that situation, I like to keep some ready for Damage Repair, but other than that I think it's important to spread them out throughout the boat to help with repair. If you have major flooding in the stern torpedo compartment and you have most of your crew up front, then I think your boat will have trouble leveling out, which isn't good in shallow waters.

They come in handy when you run out of eels

Throw'em overboard before you dive.

I always leave them in the forward torpedo room. I thought that if they are going to have to do something (can't be rested), it might as well be loading tubes if we meet up with a target. I think I'll have to try the inactive engine room now - sounds like a good idea.

I tent to leave them in the forward torpedo room, then thay can reload if you forget to send the crew to action stations. I tend to put petty officers there instead of seamen, because they seem to be for fatigue resistant, especialy when they've been promoted and awarded a couple of medals for good service.
