Thanks for the comments and feedback! The crew page screen will probably be #2, with some modifications.
Be aware that the U-51 Class, despite being larger than a WWII Type VII, only has eight torpedoes and two tubes each in the bow and stern for a total of four - this means racking up tonnage will be tough. Plus, dud rates for the early torpedoes were very high (over 50%) - Weddigen was extremely lucky to be able to sink "Aboukir", "Cressy", and "Hogue" with just one miss.
The deck gun will be adjusted to be like NYGM for Silent Hunter III, where many dozens of rounds are needed to sink ships. No 10-15 hit kills, unless you are shelling something like a small sailing ship.
I imagine some people will like the challenge, while others will be eager to get promoted to the U-87 or U-93 Class boats, which had 12-16 torpedoes and four bow tubes.
Of course, I could provide you with an alternate way to sink ships, aside from the torpedoes and deck gun (wink! wink!) Stay tuned for more screenshots very soon.
