Open tube doors and radar operators

Yes, torpedo doors can not be opened at deep depths. The doors do make up the structural integrity of the sub. This is true to life aspect of WW2 submarines/uboats. In SH3 a crewman would say, 'to deep to launch' I do not know if it is the same in SH4 as I have not tried to open my doors while deep.

There is a known bug for crewmen getting ill or dying on the conning tower. I do not believe it happens in every sub. Currently I'm in a porpoise class and my men are not dying. When in port, click and drag the Purple Heart medal over the man you wish to award it to. Also, you can drag that man over to the left to dismiss him for another if you want.

Yes, SH4 is definitly a diamond in the rough. New patch on the way and modders going at it.....we will be looking at a 10 carat diamond for years to come.

Well I just re-read Neil's SH4 preview and it said something about men getting injured during monsoon's maybe bad weather can injure men. the complaints could come from those running at high TC so they won't notice bad weather. :hmm:

I don't know Joea. I messed with the Gato and my men turn pink and health shows like 84. They do not seem to get better. Same happened with S class. Currently I have the porpoise class and my men are good as gold. I do have to say I have not experienced monsoon like weather in this sub as yet. Perhaps we jumped the gun on a possible bug issue and men dying. I'm not really sure at this point. The monsoon and TC aspect needs some looking into. One thing is for sure, put my butt on the conning tower during a monsoon and I'm sure I would be beat up

. I think I would just like to be the mess cook for now

I would have to say I do not hear "AA gun damaged' every time I surface now. Very strange indeed.

I've read that if the conning tower gets damaged, even after repair it can randomly cause damage to the watch crew. I haven't personally experienced it yet, however, so I can't confirm.

Crew health is an odd one. How come the guy on the deck gun gets injured when the boat's submerged and the deck gun receives damage from a depth charge?

Last time this happened, I swapped him with another crew member. The deck gun guy promptly went to sleep and woke up some time later feeling a lot better (100% health) I did notce that his morale had changed to "shaken".
