It would actually apply to each submarine's UPCGE (plain UPC for Allied subs) file, found in "Data / Submarine / SubName / Subname.upc". If you have a Type VIIC, you'll find in the "NSS_Uboat7c" folder, "NSS_Uboat7c.upcge" files lines like:
MaxPettyOfficers=15 ; max number of crewmembers over rank 4
MaxOfficers=8 ; max number of crewmembers over rank 7
Change those figures to like 30 and 16 or whatever. Not "historic", but neither are the original figures...

Cheers mate, appreciate the reply. It worked for me!

Another quick question, I'm wondering how to change the weather in game? I find that the seas are often as flat as a billiards table, and it is hardly ever rainy or heavy waves, even when out in the North Atlantic! It is possible to change some stuff around so you can get more heavy weather?

Thank you!

two places: scenes.dat or the actual mission (dotMIS).

those are counterparts to the Junks, Fishing Boats, and Crab Boats in the US module.

i am certain that you can edit a dotMIS file in the Campaigns folder and either reduce the number or eliminate them altogether.

Yep, I've had a look through the folder KaleunMarco mentioned and can't find it.

If anyone else knows, I'd like to know the answer as well

I tried, too. No luck. I found a lot of those "armed trawlers" but they are no where near as annoying.

what ship type are you looking for?
Steam Trawlers are referred to as Class=F03B and F04B and also as just Unittype=104.

did you look in folder C:\Ubisoft\OpMonsun\Data\Campaigns\CampaignGE\Camp aignData\Allies_HarbourTraffic.mis?
how about UK_Coastal.mis?
and
UK_Coastal_late.mis?
