I assume that if you're giving out quals in the game itself and not in Commander, the game itself will prevent you from awarding more quals to a crewmember than his rank will allow. Quote:
In my experience (which is limited to Type VII patrols, I don't know what the makeup is for boats that carry a smaller or larger crew) the positions of chief engineer (CE), weapons officer (WP), navigator (NA), and watch officer (WO) will all be filled by commissioned officers. The first three are automatically stationed in the control room and the last one on the bridge when you start a patrol. (This deviates a bit from standard practice in the Kriegsmarine, where IIRC the head navigator was typically not a commissioned officer but a senior NCO who also functioned as the third watch officer. The first and second watch officers would be commissioned line officers and second/third in line of command after the commander himself.) Basically, in the game, if you go to the crew management screen, all your commissioned officers will appear as head/face icons in the squarish boxes in the control room, on the bridge, or whatever other compartment. Only the commissioned officers can fill those slots, and if a guy is in one of those slots, he's a commissioned officer. Any guy who you see as a "whole body" icon in one of the other smaller and more numerous slots is an NCO or enlisted man. If he's wearing a brown jacket he's an NCO, if he's wearing a blue sailor suit he's an enlisted man. |

On my boat the Repair-trained Oberleutnant is the LI, and always goes in the left slot, so he's always the guy standing at the front of the control room. The leutnant with the cap is my 1WO, and in combat he is always in the right-side control room slot, which puts him at the attack desk. The other leutnant is my 2WO, and he is mainly part of the watch rotation, but in a surface attack he is always on the bridge. I know the 1WO would do that in real life, but he can't be the game's WE from there. I give one oberfanrich a Watch qual also, and he and the two leutnants rotate through the watch and control positions every four hours. The other oberfanrich is either Machine or Torpedo qualified, and goes to the proper place in combat. Normally he acts as assistant Engineer and relief for the LI. Anal? Me? No way! ![]()

*Edit: After checking the book I am 100% sure he's a petty officer, since Buchheim lists him as such. Don't think the movie would've changed that. ![]() Last edited by frau kaleun; 05-21-10 at 04:03 PM. |

I thought it was just a 16 inch gun, never looked further. Cool, though.

On the other hand that would make sense, as he was a little older and had four kids, and the captain treated him almost as a consultant, asking his opinion and such. Now I have to give a PO back that Watch rating. ![]() ![]()
