Just what every "simulation" needs.

I must admit this is very worrisome. On top of everything else this is sounding more gamey and arcade all the time.

Egad. Someone please save us....

If we roll three natural 20s do we get an instant crit against a ship?

Only if you specialized in steam torpedoes...

Shoot me now. Just, please, end the pain.

Please, make it stop.

Because before you bought a dedicated gunner for your crew they didn't know which shells to load, so you shot a lot of starshell at enemy ships.

Or maybe they kept putting them in backwards.

Or loading 20mm in the deck gun.

Or trying to load 8.8cm in the flak gun.

Who knows what those crazy sailors will do without the right man to tell them how?

Once when I was playing SH3, I ordered my WO to order the crew on deck to man the deck gun, and by the time I got up to the bridge they were trying to shove a torpedo in there. And I know for sure that Bernard was in his bunk because I'd had him tied to it the day before.

True fact.

Well, you have to give them credit for getting it out the hatch and into position that quickly.

Does the torpedoman have gunnery as a second qual?

No, embroidery.

Not much use in combat, really, but when we return to base our pennants are simply fah-bulous.
