Destroyers Discussion (getting rid of pin point drops)

[CB..]

i had a feeling you guys would under-estimate the significance of the crew rating--think about it
i know it isn't minimum this or maximum that or technically sourced from some magnificent historical manual somewhere !!

but if a novice crew is useless

an elite crew is uber

and the game doesn't get this info from the mission file--

etc
or are you trying to tell me that there is no difference between a novice crew and an elite one all of a sudden?

what's the trouble were looking at here again?
sometimes useless and sometimes uber DD's

now i haven't tested this as yet but my moneys on that horse right there :hmm:

i'm going to return all my sensor dat settings to stock and edit out the crewrating from the campaign.rnd file - and then run a couple of patrols--
if there is no change/improvement- then it'll need further work--if it turns out that the crewrating entry is completely redudndant and literally doesn't do anything then we will have learn't something new and can eliminate that from the equation--

but if it does do something and the game is randomising the crewrating on the DD's (et al) then that will explain most of what is going on
