How do you assign qualifications to your crew?

Ditch the helmsman and one of the watch qualifications from your list. I would have and extra torpedo and a extra flak.

The gunnery for the weapons officer I'd change to repair. You have a watch officer and a petty officer with gunnery qualifications. That should be enough. This will also give some flexablity when, at a later stage (if you make it), you need to change your layout of your sub so it has no deck gun. You can then replace this crew member with one with a flack qualification, as this is eaiser than replacing an experienced officer.

Play around, you might find a better combination that what you have listed. Having as many officers and petty officers listed with repair qualifications is a good idea, I learnt that the hard way!

But only one officer can be assigned to damage control, so I'm thinking that 2 officers with repair should be sufficient.

Does removing the deck gun make any difference, in game? I'm running SH3 with TGW 1.1a.

I use SH3 Commander and qualify everyone on the second patrol. Then I set fatigue to zero.

I'm captain of the boat, I rely on my 1st officer and chiefs to babysit and train the crew. I know, unrealistic, but it works for me.

Having more than one officer for damage control is a good idea. Despite there being only space for one officer in the damage party, moving an officer to a compartment with damage will help the compartment be repaired faster.

The is useful when you have two or damaged compartments (a regular thing under depth charge attack)

Is the helm qualification important? Does it make a difference to say, crash diving times?

I don't think so because I have never seen a petty officer with a helmsmen qualification. I wonder if giving a officer a radio qualification means you operate the radio without any one being there?:hmm:

Nope. Pull someone from the slot and it turns the station off. I clear the room when leaving port, and go to snorkel depth, just to shut them up and use TC.

IMO the helmesman qualification is the only one you don't really need
