I prefer to give the officer two qualifications, then start giving the chiefs qualifications.

The one with the highest rank gets Torpedo and Repair, Then I have a Machinist/Torpedo, Watchman/Medic, Watchman/Gunner, and Helmsman/Repair, or something close to that

I always wait til I'm about to start a patrol to apply a qualification, seeing as my qualified crewman have a habit of transferring, dying in bar fights, or being killed by partisans (with SH3 Commander).

With Torpedo, Machinist, Gunner, Watchman, and Repair being covered by officers and then have one chief with machinist, I usually make sure I have at least two radiomen. After that I usually just apply torpedo or machinist qualifications, maybe a flak gunner with the IXB/C/D

A high ranking officer with torpedo only requires 4 or 5 crewman to fill the torpedo bar, granted two of them are chiefs with torpedo qualifications (In the Type VII).

Watchamn/Gunner will have the deckgun and flak bar filled just using regular crewman to man them (in the Type VII).

Get further on in the war and the odd one will be beamed aboard an alien spaceship where medical experiments will be performed on them

I hope they are sexy blonde ( insert preferential hair colour here ) female aliens

On a serious note shipmates, something has just crossed my mind. Why is there no qualification as sound/hydro operator ? Or is this covered by radio?

Best regards.

I asked this of a certain ubi developer of the game whilst in the States and the response was "There is radioman covering both areas" ....which makes sense in a way because once you have a radio qualification and a leading seaman (or two PO's if you like) the bar is maxed out.

@Jim & Osmium Steele

Makes sense now shipmates, hopefully my SO will now become a little more co-op

Kinda buggers you off when you ask for a report on nearest vessel and he says .... blah....... then you ask him to follow it and he says ' No sound contact ' . I thought it was because I weren't training him hard enough, or do you think he's been at the Schnapps behind closed doors?

Best regards.

Probably at the Schnapps behind closed doors

Fubar2Niner · 06-17-11, 03:17 PM

Best regards.

But they are. The only problem is that their hair is on their posteriors, and their heads are like corrugated cardboard.

I know, I had a blind date with one when I was in college.
