Default start with the Basic

There are crew config files in the Basic folder for each U-boat type, and they all have low ranks. SH3 Commander has a list of "Realistic" crews. Look in the SH3 Commander folder for a Folder named Crew, open, then copy the file inside named Realistic. Inside that are the crew files that start with a good rank mix. The Realistic folder is conveniently ready as a Mod. So copy it into the Silent Hunter III Mod folder and activate with JSGME. If all goes well it will overwrite the Basic files and you will have a better crew.
This is just a start, you can really mod out the crew files to suit yourself in at least a couple other ways. Just take some time to look at the details and how it works. You can make it so different ranks or even single crew members wear whatever uniforms you want. Warning- I spent a lot of time doing that.
