Thats a bit more useful then (seeing as I avoid shooting at anything that can shoot back and rarely have "wounds")

My medic just has medicinal alcohol so your in good hands weather wounded or not

As a physician, I would like more injured and ill sailors on the patrols. I have only had a couple of injured in over a year of playing the game. When we get dc or attacked, I usually only get killed sailors.

In real life medics were rarely put on u-boats because they were considered a valuable resource that was better deployed on other fronts. In Iron Coffins Herbert Werner explained that on the only occassion he had a doctor aboard, the doctor was so ill with sea sickness that he was pretty much a waste of space.

In SHIII my medic has not yet been called upon, but then again I'm only on my 11th patrol in November 1940.

I'll guess some of the crew had some minor medical training?

I have not seen evidence of a viable effect in other compartments.

That seems like a much more useful effect. On a long IX cruise that would be valuable.

I think that there is an encyclopedia of little tid bits the Kpt. Lehmann has bubbling in his brain.

Most probably. The U-Tankers tended to have doctors on board, so boats on long patrols could transfer any crew members that were ill over to the tanker.
