Recruiting to the Damage Control Party?

WhiskeyBravo · 03-30-07, 11:21 AM

I've been reading the various threads about the Damage Control being bugged (possibly - I'm not sure but in my case I kept forgetting to activate the DC party!)

Anyway, in several posts people have mentioned recruiting extra crew members to fill the DC party slots.

I was wondering how realistic this is as I understood that the DC Party was usually created from the existing ships company? ie crew members would be stripped form their usual place of work to create a DC Party when the boat was at action stations. Have I got this right?

Also, if you add additional crew members purely to create a DC party will this have an effect on the boats endurance beacuse of food supplies etc?

I'm a relative newb to this, not having played a sub sim since Silent Service 2 a long time ago! So forgive me if my question in stupid or obvious.

Cheers,

WB.
