Damage Control

"The crew helps the DC team make repairs"

It's the other way around. Repairs will be made even without the DC team, but at a much reduced rate. The compartment crew works only on the damaged parts in their compartment. As the manual states, the compartment crews will do what's necessary to save their own lives (if possible.) The DC crew works on the priority list and will move to any compartment required. You can improve damage repairs by transferring healthy, high rated crew into the most damaged compartments and injured crew out.
As others have stated, keep the DC crew slots filled with high rated mechanical/electrical crew for max effectiveness.

OMG! It's Mr. Real Deck Gun!!!! Pv, did you also write New Real Deck Gun, or do you know who did? Your deck gun is so good that I wouldn't run my game without it. I've been trying to get the Real Fleet Boat guys to incorporate it or an improvement into Real Fleet Boat. Real Fleet Boat--Real Deck Gun belong together, don't you think?

Please drop over to the Silent Hunter Modding Forum and ask for Sam (swdw in SUBSIM). I'll bet those three lettered U-Boat guys who shall remain nameless might be interested as well. It's time for a non-gyrostabilized deck gun to take center stage and get the attention it deserves.


We now resume our regularly scheduled thread, in progress...

Sorry RR. I'm not that person. I'm more likely to be the target of derision than praise.
