I think the radio and sonar room is absolutely the most important place on the ship, not only to stay alive as long as possible, but also to incercept targets at long ranges, and have a nice and qualified company close to your bed.

Post Scriptum: Anyone has an idea on how the medals, awards and promotions work in detail in GWX?

I believe they're the same as in the stock game. I'm a bit hazy on what each one specifically does, but I believe that the overall effect is that they add to effectiveness and keep a crewman from getting tired as fast to varying degrees. The one I do know for sure is that the German Cross in Gold keeps a crewman from getting fatigued at all.

i always have two qualified radio/sonar guys also. sonarguy gives you accurate hydrophone info (to the point he can identify stationairy ships) and rado guys gives you more contact updates ( single ships, but also convoys etc)

Once the absolute besic requirements for machinists are filled, getting an officer-mechanic is important, it may save you when boat is damaged.

I shoot for the following compliment: Officers: Gunnery, machinist, mechanic

Petty officers: 3 machinists, 4 torpedomen, 2 mechanics, 1 flack.

Of course, I send the cook for training in Switzerland before 2nd patrol :rotfl:

So is it better to keep a gunnery officer in watch station and man the guns with crew, than having a watchman officer on watch station and putting a gunnery skill petty officer on deck guns?

You want as an absolute minimum a gunnery and 2 flak PO qualifications

I always gualify my watchman with gunner and flak...The effeciency goes wasy up. Plus I qualify a P.O. w/ gunner and 2 flak's...However I enjoy running the gun myself...not to good with the flak....

Use SH3 Commander and send them all to training school!

I rotate 2 officers through the watch station.
1 is qualified Watch, Gunner, Repair
The other, Watch, Flak, Torpedo

I seem to get maximum use out of them without the poor sods falling asleep on duty.
