Do you spend Renown to recruit crewmembers?

1. You must move the officer to the proper compartment for the officer to effect the efficiency of that compartment. In other words, a Torpedo Qualified Officer cannot increase Torpedo Room efficiency if he is in the Control Room.

2. Warrant Officers are only allowed 1 Qualification. Sailors do no get a qualification. So to answer your question, only the Warrant Officers first Qualification is active, and no Qualifications for sailors will be active.

Sailor do contribute a little bit to compartment efficiency.

Not unless I'm forced to. I use SHIIICommander to train my crew to meet my needs and only add zero cost officers and crew unless none of them are available.

I spend my renown for sub - new type, equipment and weaponry. Only before first patrol I recruit skilled warrant officers and some sailors from barracks. I think that's the most resonable tactics.

I use my renown for a new u-boat and upgrades only. One of the reasons is that it gives me more satisfaction to get an experienced crew this way.

I spend renown for sub and upgrades.

But the first time i take ( I start with IIA in 1939)

1 Officer with Watch, repair
1 Officer with torpedoman
1 Ofiicer with Helmsman and Machinist
and I leave the fourth as helmsman

when i take a vII i add one with watch,repair,torpedo

also

I take 1 senior or chief senior p.officer for each of the 3 vital compartment.

Sonar/radio station , engine room and repair station.

then I fill in the missing crew with 0 renown guys.

Yes if necessary, but officers only, not petty officers or sailors.

Only before my first patrol will I spend any renown on some good people.

I think there is a bug which makes it advisable not to make any alterations to the boat or crew before the very fist patrol. Or that may just be to the boat I'm not sure.
