SHIII did some things that are OK with crewing.

Yet, they still didn't understand that the hydroplane station isn't occupied during surface operations. And that is only one example.

The Navigator is not an officer but senior enlisted.

The fatigue model is not something very useful. A crewman is fairly qualified from Baltic workups and the school. The idea that one would get tired during their watch may happen once. Then there would be a very negative conversation with the next in line Bootsman or the Chief Bosun before it even got to the watch officer. Then, suddenly, next watch, that person isn't so tired and gets through their watch. That and peer pressure.

So, I get it that they put fatigue into the game. Very commendable. But....poorly executed.

So, don't expect much from it. Enjoy those things in the game that are really good.

All that fresh, salt air and wind...
