A few realism questions.

Let me put it this way for you. If your in a Sub and that sub is sinking or isnt working all that well ur going to want to know how to fix it and make it run better. I know in today's US navy, any crewmen in a Sub knows the basics of every "job/task" there is to do on a sub. Officers were trained to do their job weather it be weapons or navigation, then they also knew how to do other officer;s jobs as well.

I know when im in the game and i dont have an officer in my engine room, then i usually assigne the navigator to it so it runs better. when i dive to PR depth then u usually put the watch officer in the Torpedo room. Crew management is a huge part of playing this game. Know what your officers do and know wat they do well and use them accordingly.

I know crew management is important, just didn't want to 'cheat' to get an efficient crew if they weren't so multi-skilled in real life. You state that they are so no problems. I think the effect a qualified officer has on performance is a bit over the top in terms of their individual performance I don't see how an experienced, qualified officer is going to be worth 4-5 seamen?

I know the helmsman qual doesn't affect ability to dive etc, but does it affect the rate of fatigue? Think I read that qualified personal tire slower?

Well if your worried about haveing an efficent boat then download SH3 Commander. If u use that program to manange ur crew then you can give every crewman a skill, even the low enlistedmen.

I usually like to have atleast three warrant officers with skills in each compartment then i have enlisted men with skills under them. With the deckgun i usually have one warrant officer in charge with two enlisted men working with him. You can do that also with the flak guns, thats if u have more then one. The officers can usually be found in the command room or in quarters but when i have a contact i assigne them to the engine room or the torpedo rooms.
