Again, good point. On the other hand, Fleet boats had two engine rooms, with two diesels each; so there should be two engine rooms. And where is the motor room?

We shouldn't be thinking of these as the 'rooms' just where the crew is assigned. They should really just read 'engine crew' 'control crew' etc or whatever term is correct.

8 officers!!!! There are a ton of NCOs and higher ranked seamen too? What kind of ratios were there in R/L? Looks very different from a uboat setup?

As for the colours, that is rank. Blue are officers, green for NCOs, yellow appear to be 'qualified' seamen, then red for 'unqualified' seamen.

Like the fact that each sailor has different levels of skill for different tasks.

A few issues I'd like to comment on. I believe a past post brought this up, where are the "Dolphins"? Not having them would be a big dissapointment. They are what seperated sub sailors from the rest of the Navy

Aviators had wings of various sorts (fixed-wing and blimp), but skimmers didn't have a warfare device until the 1970s.

All officer dolphins are gold; enlisted are silver. In WWII there were only line dolphins for officers (enlisted model in gold.) Nowadays there are several different types of officer dolphins including Supply Officer and EDO. The quals are different. It's true an OOD would have been a qualified officer in practice, but it wasn't legally necessary. Only that he be a line officer.

MP Adversarial mode
I thought they were going to throw me out on the street when I asked to see the multiplayer section of the game. I didn't really ask, of course. In true Subsim fashion, I simply ended the mission I was playing and went to the game menu and hit Multiplayer. and then....

Coming Feb 14

Yesh... someone needs to hurry it up

.

Kiddin', matey, take your time:p.

Carefully selected wording there, you politician you.

In all seriousness, I know these things take time and there is stuff to take care of in RL. That said, take your time - we'll be watching for it.
