Nope and I have GWX 3, and even when you command crash dive, the crew remains where they are, so just move them manually all to the front or when you blow ballast get everyone in the back (stern room, electric engines & diesel engines) I'll check with clock on hand if there's any improvement.

fired of a salvo of 4 eels and to torps took in the bow ( i had real luck)

so of to canada hunt convoys cos there are lots of them there!!!

Halifax was one of the main formation points for convoys in the western Atlantic.....a real aladdins cave.

I can say that applying this tactic into the IXB get's you a total of 28-30 seconds to dive, that's 5-7 vital seconds that could save you, instead of hitting periscope depth (takes 35-40 seconds).

Are you sure this is modeled in the game? I've never noticed any difference.

Well when you press C some crew automatic moves to the front, but only enough to get that room active, that's when you move the rest of the crew to the first 2 rooms and leave the back empty, it does works...and if not at least you get a more realistic feeling
