Crew don't go to stations.

I've noticed my crew's morale never changes from "normal"

Yeah i know. I wish i knew where to tweak that. I hate it.

recently I caught some of them sleeping while we were at general quarters

You had battle stations enabled too long is my guess.

Oh, I almost forgot, the radar operator(s) are always intently looking at the glass at their station. The only problem is, I don't have radar.

Most of the war you will have radar. What bugs me is they're looking at it, even while submerged. I wonder if i can fix that.

I wouldn't worry about it; its really a minor thing. I know you've had a serious case of burnout.

I think the reason it (and other things) bothers me, is that it would not have been that difficult for Ubi to fix these things. They have the source code, the tools, the expertise. Even if they decided that the project was not going to be a huge money maker, they should have brought it to a proper conclusion, if only to maintain their brand.

Someone started a rumor that it's not really a radar, it's a TV. They're trying to tune in and watch "Victory at Sea".

Think of it as a challenge to fix!

Some things are only fixable at the code level. The reality is, all the modding in SH3 and SH4 is - is crafty editing of the programs resource files.

(edit: The real challenge in SH4 is finding out if something is fixable only at code level, or not.)

Well, I took the 3 "radar operators" and put them with the deck watch and put the 3 extra watch guys in the damadge control slots. I still have 3 extra men not doing anything, but at least I don't have to be constantly looking at them, doing nothing. Maybe I'll consider them part of the gun crew. Problem solved, sort of.

My crew morale changes up quite a lot playing TMO. Course I get in some hairy situations. Still strange, I've seen some rate broken, why at the same time others are fanatical. Seems to happen more late war.

I have no clue what pushes some to break, others to get fanatical, probably ratings, wounded, ect. Seems if you sink lot's of ships, then take a hell of a beating for it they go all over the place.

In the end, what doe's it matter, doesn't seem to effect anything.

I've been wondering about that. I get the impression that the whole crew thing, is just another example of something the devs never got around to finishing.

IMO, they should have, at least, fleshed out, half a dozen or so, key officers/specialists. Would have made more sense.
