AUTO CREW ASSISTANCE
If you are a newcomer to submarine warfare you may want to turn on your auto crewmen to assist
you as you learn the inner workings of the ship’s stations. Even if you are an experienced player,
when the action is hot and heavy you may want to activate one or two of the crew to assist you
with some of the more difficult tasks.Auto crewmen are available for Sonar (he handles both
Narrowband and Broadband),TMA, Fire Control and Radar. But remember, like humans,your auto
crewmen are not perfect!
Auto crewmen are enabled in the Options menu (select Options>Crew) and by clicking on the label
of the station for which an Auto Crewman is available.The label changes to inform you that the
auto crewman is on duty.When an auto crew setting is available for a station, the cursor changes
to a finger when over the station’s label. For specific information on individual Auto Crewmen,see
Ship Stations/Auto Crewmen on p. 146.
NOTE:
If you selected Novice settings when you installed the game or from the Options>Crew page
all auto crew are on by default.
