I mean, in the case of the torpedo rooms for example it is clear, but at the hydrophone/radio station there are two very different tasks combined in one compartment. So will this have the same effect on both tasks or does the hydrophone efficiency depend ONLY on the skill of the hydrophone guy ?

This is the question nobody wants/can answer as it seems, as everybody is telling just that a better hydrophon guy will increase the work at the hydrophone, but thats already clear enough

The same qualification serves for BOTH the hydrophone station and the radio/radar station. That being said, if you have a qualified sailor at the hydrophone controls... and a sailor with no qualification at the radar station.... only the hydrophone station is given a bonus.

For full positive effect, you need a qualified sailor in both locations. Two qualified, non-fatigued sailors in that compartment should give you a full green bar... or close to it based on rank... Does that answer the question? (tis the best I can do)

If gunners, torpedo guys work better with medals it only makes sense to award your hydrophone guys also. My two cents worth. Better to award him then say a medic or as I recently found out a flak gunner.

+1.. that is what I do to, and the compartment is always solid green now

That does answer my question, thanks.
