My annoying bridge crew - Page 2

I was happily sailing the mediterranean in October 1939 on 1024x, when suddenly BANG! Apparently my sub has been hit?
I zoom in on the map view - no vessel except mine is plotted. I enter the bridge - there is a destroyer a few meters away from my stern, firing at the bridge and preparing to ram me.
My bridge crew, although scanning the surface with glasses, and equipped with watch stars assigned by SH3 commander, is apparently unaware of that huge ship right beside them. Hence, no warning, and I guess no plotting on the map.
I am able to raise an alarm, but it's too late to escape the crash. Patrol and career ends.

This is not the first time this happened to me, however, it's the first time in best weather conditions - absolutely calm sea and no clouds whatsoever. This is a disappointing way to end an otherwise successful patrol.

I'm sure this is a known problem, but my searches did not reveal a particular solution except the "stay alert crew" mod, which *I think* addresses this issue but is rather old and seems not to be state of the art anymore?

How can I make my crew to be attentive enough to register a huge destroyer closing in and firing???

I'm using GWX 3.0 + MaGUI, and set TC to 0 when spotting a ship or plane.

Thanks for any help!
