Left clicking one compartment and then right clicking another will completely fill up the left clicked compartment with crew from the right clicked compartment.

You can also double click a compartment and it will fill it with enough crewmen to operate, but not all the way full. Double clicking a compartment also swaps out the red exclamation mark crewmen for fresh ones.

Just an additional note (you'll find this out the first time you do it) you will lose AA/AF when you adust it higher.

Lose AA/AF even when using nHancer?
Not me anyway.

In GWX, if you plot a course East of Helgoland Island, you'll sink. As in, getting a game over screen due to damage. I think you run aground. But, could be some mines in there?

Mines, seems to be the general consensus:

Control-F8 toggles a little box at the top of the screen that displays your frame rate.

ctrl+insert raises your observation periscope all the way, ctrl+delete lowers it all the way. ctrl+pageup raises the attack scope all the way, ctrl+pagedown lowers it all the way.

You can do this from any screen or compartment. No need to rush from the Map view back to the scope view..

I have been occasionally hitting a key combination that makes the above water images go blurry. Thanks to the above post I now know by pressing Shift+Pagedown I can restore sharpness without having to restart the game!

(I'm using a ATI HD 5870 graphics card)

Thanks

(Pointless functionality I think!)

Seems this does not work for all versions - actually does not work at all for me

On long patrols at night, whilst gazing at the stars and listening to the waves lapping against the hull of your boat, what better time than to shout down the hatch for a hot cup of tea!
Just press the "T" key and shout cuppa!

I can guarantee within a few minutes, a nice cup of tea will appear on the bridge, delivered by the Cook, or in my case my missus! Works every time! ,

Happy New Year to you all and Good Hunting!

After an uninstall and a reinstall, now it works.
