Crew Fatigue in GWX, and its actual impact?

Thanks for the reply. I do have another quick question.

If I get a full green bar and I don't have the entire work area completely staffed, can I just leave that area partially filled and get the same level of performance from that area as I would if it were completely staffed 100%. For example:

1) Bridge: I have noticed that sometimes I get a full green bar for this area even though I have only assigned 1 Office, and 2 other Crewman to this post, so there are still 2 empty slots left to fill that I guess I can leave empty because I already have a full green bar. Can I expect to get the same level of performance out of these 3 guys on my bridge with a full green bar that I would expect to get from a fully staffed bridge of 5 guys with a full green bar as well? Should I still fully staff the work area even though I get a full green bar when it is partially staffed?

Hope this makes sense. I have noticed that my engine room can sometimes run with a full green bar even though I only have 3 guys in there. I wonder if this makes them tire more quickly when I do this?

Yes, and that is something wrong with the game that apparently can't be fixed: a full green bar is more important than the number of men actually doing the work.

Thanks for your answers. I guess I will go ahead and play realistically and fully staff my work areas (especially the bridge) even though I get the full green bar when those areas are only partially staffed. Like I said, I am having a pretty good time planning out my work shifts and managing my crew. It gives me something to do other than just read a U-Boat book when on long patrols where I am finding nothing.
