There's this bug with renown awarded during your first patrol. If you modify anything to your boat before the first patrol, you'll likely loose the renown gained during it. So that includes crew changes. Been there, done that.

Greetings all,

My own method with a new career is to dismis two of my 'helmsman' officers for zero cost ones with different skills, there might be a torpedo, engine or repair specialist. Having done that and as my career starts in Aug '39 I usually go on a couple of short 'shakedown' patrols into the Heligoland bight. Completing them gives me two opportunities to get a couple of my POs upgraded. As for the fifth officer slot I'll see what is on offer for my money(prestige points) and if there's no combination of skills available I'll wait 'till I complete my first patrol.
