Default Deck Gun Crew

I'm still on my 1st patrol. My deck gun crew couldn't hit the side of a barn door. They must be all cousins of Bernard :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Give them time Rob. Soon they will get better, which is something we cannot say for Bernard

That long range gunnery mod is a cruel mistress, ain't she?

I just shoot it myself. The results are always better that way.

Then I gave them the whole side of the barn at 500 m and they still couldn't hit anything.

No, they are not qualified, 1st mission, green crew.

"...when you can get the flak gunner to fire" Ain' t that the truth! I had two DeHavilands sniffing about and the dolt just stood there. I doped slapped him in the head and took the gun myself.

I forget Andy. How many crew members will SH3 Commander allow me to qualify at one time in base?

You mean when I get back to base, I can get ALL the crew members qualified as something or other, like flak, gunners, torpedomen, machinests, watchmen, medics, etc.?

- If you do it from within SH3 Commander's Manage Crew Option. You can apply qualifications and medals to every member of your crew in one go.

As Dan said you can give as many qualifications and medals to your crew as you like. The only thing you cannot give is extra promotions. (i.e you cannot promote someone if he doesn't have enough experience to reach that rank)
