By the way all you do is open your subs save file near the very top should there should be a line that says officers and a number all you do is change this number and save and then you can have an extra officer or CPO if you need one. You could also make the enlisted crew larger but this is truly not needed though an extra officer can be useful.though if you where a stickler for realism you could make the total crew size to the real life level it would on be on "paper" though as obviously you cant place 70+ men in the crew slots the game happends to include.

I agree, most of the special officers are cheats and I toss them overboard. I will keep the ones that are part of the original crew except one. One of the specialist increases torp speed. It may say by 20%, something like that, but your torps look like rockets in the water.

Steelhead,
What folder to I find my sub saves in. Give me a directory if you could. Not that computer savvy, thanks...SVS

For me (Vista) under my user documents there will be a folder SH4 in there should be a cfg folder and a photo folder(which is where all your recon photos go if you ever wondered) inside the cfg will be several folders. One is called SaveGames click that one insdie there will be tons of floders with 0000000 names each one of these are your careers look at the date created to figure out withch one is which and when you open one open the UPCInitial folder ActiveUserPlayerUnits in this file the 2nd line is the class of the sub 4th line in the name.the 16th and 17th lines are the ones you want to increase by a few add them and then save.Next back to the 000000 folder and click ActiveUserPlayerUnits and make the excat cahnges to crew size and save.

Also before you do any of this copy any file you change(before you change it) and paste it in a folder unrelated to the docs SH4 folder or your harddrives SH4 folders.You do this in port or at sea and wait until you port before adding or promoting in new guys.That is how I do it if you have something other than Vista some will have to post how it is done I know I am not the only person who knows how to do this.Dont go over the top with officers though too many in one place and the manning level wont go any higher you need a certain amount of every rank level. Adding one officer and CPO is all I ever do I most often groom a good sailor into a CPO where I feel his skill could be used.Seems for me CPO conn guys are kind of rare.
