I am at a loss, however, on how to manage my crew. I appreciate the added realism that prevents a Captain from having a literal boatful of Chiefs, but I don't understand how to work around what seems to be the opposite extreme in this mod. I can't promote a single E-6 without literally dismissing ALL of my existing Chiefs! I feel like I must be missing something...any suggestions?

When you say "managing" your crew, there isn't much of that in SH4, of course. As for the promoting, We have another update that should help in that regard in the next release, of which we might have to drop a couple of issues and just go with what we have.

It takes about as long to do as shooting the main guns on a BB, so if you are close to a BB and see the guns about on your location, the ships with torpedoes are launching same. So you have roughly 15 seconds initially before you'll see a response to your periscope, and then a similar response time to launch. If you come back up with the scope a 2nd time too soon while in the same vicinity, they will react faster. We might attempt an add-in later that would minimize the torpedoes, but we are still trying to track down the deck gun issue, or roll it back to what it was (which was relatively predictable), as well as at least 2 other issues, so when we get time...
