It should assuming your commander is up to date.

Sure does! I'm a big fan of letting my NCO's look after the sleeping arrangements. I drafted the watch bill and let them run it. I don't go running around shaking bunks to get people working with the exception of that lazy good for nothing Watch Officer who dives into his rack as soon as we submerge and won't come out unless I go get him.

Couldnt have said it better myself. Delegation is a wonderful thing.

I know this is going beyond answering Iron Budokans' question, but I have to give my opinion.

I agree that the whole fatigue model in SH3 is messed up, but I also feel that it's strange to play without it. And I actually enjoy the added issue when things get crazy. But I hate dealing with it when I'm cruising around. My solution; drop the 3D model down to 16x with SH3 commander and play with the stock GWX fatigue.

This solution, I feel, allows fatigue to become an issue (which it should be), but not the overwhelming issue that it was. Plus, you no longer have to manage your crew unless you're at less than 32X in attack or getting attacked.--which makes the experience more fun for me.

Whatever--enjoy the game however you want

If you could set up acutal crew watchs that auto rotate based on a schedule you set, i'd use fatigue anytime. I don't like not having crew management an issue, but i hate micromanaging them even more. "Lemmings in das boot" is not the game i like to play.

That's exactly what I feel about crew fatigue. However it's temptating to switch it off, as it's boring to manage them when just sailing and nothing happens, it would be even more boring to have them all rested and full of energy after a long battle, surface night attack or several ours of heavy depth charging and making tons of repairs. Though my crew performs very well when starting to reload torpedoes, after reloading a few of them they don't perform so well any more - the efficiency bar starts getting lower and lower and nothing could stop it. So before I reload my last external torpedo while at lower than 32xTC, my torpedo men are almost dead. And I must always take it to consideration... especially when close to the enemy. It gives me much joy, as I feel like I coped with that problem in real.

And that's probably how it is to be in SH4. From the short Neal Steven's review of the game I found that it's the crew management that is going to be reworked totally. You've got shift there, men that can take care of themselves, work/sleep/rest when it's time for it and fight when you call them to. Too bad it cannot be modded like that in SH3.
