Is the crew getting rest between patrols?

nattydread · 04-10-07, 05:32 PM

I just noticed a day out o fport that my crew's fatigue is already below the 20s by the time they're off shift. I havent activate battle stations yet, but I have been running "Full" speed on the surface for a day at high TC.

Im tempted to dive and go engines off for a day of rest.

A lower number of fatigue means less. Higher fatigue would be a higher number. Low 20s seems good to me.

ah, ok! I thought I was wearing my crew out with my constant cries for more ice cream!

As long as you weren't trying to find out where the missing strawberries went...

Naw, I got those under my bunk! The crew will do just fine on lemons and oranges...but I left them some peaches! Peaches had to be number two on the list of most wanted fruits.

Actually, being in port is more detrimental to the crews health than patrolling. If you're based in Australia and decide to run all the way up to the dock you'll see a bus standing on the pier waiting for your men to get in before hauling ass to Perth where they go on a two week drinking bilge. Again, if you decide to start your next patrol from the dock you will see the same bus pull up to the sub about five minutes before departure time. It's your crew, and most of them are filthy drunk. And don't get me started on the parties they throw in Pearl. Midway is no better either. Moonshine and gooney bird hunting can zap the morale of the most hardened submarine veterans. Patrolling in Emipre waters is considered a recreational cruise by most submariners in this game.
