Sorry, if my post was not clear. Putting an officer with helmsman qualification into the repair team slot is useless. You are right. But having an officer in the command room with helmsman qualification is not useless.

Repairs are also done by the crew in the compartment even without any damage team (just forget the repair team for a second). The repair time in this case is determined by the efficiency in the damage compartment and in case of the command room, the helmsman qualification increases the efficiency by a factor of 1.5 or 2 depending on the rank and thus, the helmsman qualification reduces the repair time.

If you do not believe it, download the longer repair time mod, run the Flak training mission, get some damage in the command room and look how the repair times are changed when you drag an officer with and without helmsman qualification in the command room. But as I said earlier, in stock and GWX the efficiency in the command room is practically always at max., so you will not see an effect.

Basically, a certain qualification has an effect only if the officer is put into the compartment with the same symbol. So, repair qual. helps only if the officer is put into the repair team slot, torpedo qual. only if the officer is put in the torpedo room (bow or stern),... at least that's my observation.

Cheers, LGN1
