Crew qualifications: more than one?

joea · 07-16-05, 04:41 AM

I was just wondering if it would be possible to give more than one qualification at the end of a patrol. I am not sure it would be realsitc to have only one crew member go to "school," or am I wrong?

I quit agree. I had a nasty encounter with two destroyers on my 17th patrol...sunk 'em both but lost 5 of my best torpedomen to flooding. Now I'm seriously short of skilled labour.
So I dont mind asking...How can we cheat and add more qualifications to our crews? I'm hoping it's a simple edit.

Hmm... I wonder if the new SHIII commander can't do that. I haven't tried, to be honest - but it might be possible.

SH3 Commander can do this, and it can give multiple quals to Bootsmann. The way to give multiple quals is to "promote" a Stabsoberbootsmann with enough experience to OberfÃ¤hnrich zur See, give the extra qual, then "demote" them back to Stabsoberbootsmann.

It was my understanding this had no effect on the game beyond looking visually pleasing?

Could be. I haven't seen any benefit, but it does look cool!

It can be done fairly easily by manually editing the latest crew config save in your my documents folder.
