I heard SS5s are coming out with the new EBB and ECV. anyone got any links to the crew
needed for that (the specs fo the ss5's)?

Repair/restore ability of any sailor on the ship is useful. While only Engineer's
engine ability is useful.
So you could put repairer in R/T slot.

Where is it displayed that putting anything, other than a gunner, in a gun slot does
any service to the sub? I can understand the repairman/restorer getting some exp,
but they don't do any repair service unless they are in one of the 3 support slots
available.

If you put an engineer in a gun slot, the ship will slow down to basic speed. How
does repair work when engineer doesn't?

I am training my SS4 crew.
KM SS deck gun is good. I think 1 gunner is required. Front R slot could be repair.
My crew: 1 sonar(boost) + 1 planesman(15 base, boost) + 1 Engine(boost,
10/11/12) + 2 torp + 1 gunner(100vet, no other sailor) + 1 repair.

deck gun; never know when you'll need a knife

i think you should use the deck guns

maybe 1 rep on the front and one gunner on the back?

Surface and blast everything in sight. You wont need to rep. They will.

for 900 SD and a ridiculously good repair rate

I run two gunners on my U-Flak and I can't see why anyone would not want those
guns.

I rip fighters and bombers squadrons in half , I can toast a DD closing on me or finish
off a smoldering CV.

Why would you waste such wonderful guns on a dumb repairman's exp?
