Blasted Bridge Crews!

Yea it's a know bug with that idiot flak-gunner.Just cycle trough the gun positions and bridge or designate a plane with the binocs so that guy can start shooting.
About the bridge-crew,at night they seem to be totatl idiots.Once i was cruising at full twards my patrol-sector near the norwegian coast at night.I was inside the command room looking at damage/crew torps being in a small skirmish with 2 DD's and escaping alive.Suddenly,the watch-officer said that he spotted a ship bearing 356 or something like that ,close range.I was surprised he detected it at close range because usually they would detect targets at 13k+ during daytime and a little less at night.So i went out to the bridge to see where the target is.To my surprise it was A FEW METERS AHEAD OF ME AND I CRASHED RIGHT INTO IT!It was a steamer i think or a small merchant.Man those bridge guys are idiots some time.

My crew totally missed a convoy until it was 1000 meters away on a bright day. Most of the merchants were armed, so you can guess what happened.

I dont have a lot problems with my Watch Crew, most of the time they spot an DD from 10 - 15 km range

Sack them when you get back to port and get some new ones.

The only time my watch crew let me down is at night in a thunderstorm when a Destroyer is right on top of me, but I shall put this down to rotten weather.

I just switched from NYGM2.0 to GW. I noticed some things. One, my bridge crew has gone blind. Two, my sonarman is now deaf. Three, destroyers are now psychic.

My bridge crew can't see smoke on the horizon that's plain to me without binoculars. My sonarman can't hear screws that I can count RPMS on. Destroyers now have a "feeling" that I am stalking thier convoy and will come from 5KM or more out, right at me when I am silent running at perisope depth at 3 knots with the scope down.

NYGM 2.0 did a really good job tweaking these things to make them behave more realistically.

Those problems are not from the mod.Those have been around since the stock game.The blind crew..deaf sonarman..etc are all stock problems.
