FW Fatigue Question

03-27-06, 01:47 PM

I started using the 8-hour version with my latest patrol. Things seemed to be fine, but all of a sudden guys were getting fatigued after 2 or 3 hours on station. I switched to the 24-hour model (stupidly switching in mid-patrol via SHIII Commander; the good news was it worked). I still had the same problem, so I went back to the default SHIII model. I found I didn't like it anymore, so back to 24-hour.

The bottom line is, the problem was the weather-in bad weather they fatigue a LOT faster. In good weather everything was fine, and when I submerged to 30 meters or so they lasted a lot longer...just like real life!

I'm running a type II for this one, so there was no overflow of crew to put in the unused engine compartment. I find myself having to substitue different petty officers for sailors in different stations, and always juggling everyone around. With only 27 men on board, this seems more than reasonable. I can't wait to try it with one of my type VII careers.

I won't be going back to stock.
