Crew Compliment

Factor · 12-23-07, 01:02 AM

i use a P Class and im going to try to finish the war with it if the game allows. started in dec 41 in manilla.

anyway, the P class only had a crew compliment of 55. according to http://www.geocities.com/bullhead262/ussubs/p_class.htm

not counting the gun positons on deck and the damage control postions in the set up menu, the porpoise holds 66 men. 66 men! what i do is only use 55 men.

i put 2 skilled persons per station on my boat typically, the rest are seaman 3rd class with mechinical skill (cross hammers). i kind of use SH3 as a template on how i compliment my submarine with officers and petty offiers to a degree. i think the americans could produce skilled sailors at a faster rate than the germans and didnt have to fill near as many submarines. (this is my opinion, i may be wrong) so i have a few more skilled sailors in game than i would in SH3. at the end of the patrol, ill rotate most of the crew out. it would be nice if the game included something like that.

i try and just use as many men as the real ones did. could u imagine 70 men on a P Class sub

i would really love some insight as well on this matter if anyone can shed some light.

That actually is a good question . . . what are the actual billets for every class of Fleet Submarine.

I am currently on a Gar class and have maxed out the crew . . . I have 3 LTs (XO, CEO, & Torpedo Officer), 1 Lt (Conning Tower), 2 Ens (Conning Tower, & Repair), and 10 Chiefs (Aft Torpedo Room, 2 for Engineering Shift Leaders, CoB, Lead Electronics, For . . . now I know this is way maxed out.

I can only find Torpedo Officers in the LT range . . .

Any help here would be appretiated.
