why i dont have this shift Managemen options?

THAT was a perfect video about the Crew Management. Quite honestly, I've been struggling to understand the affect of the crew management. You instructions were perfectly clear on a very cloudy part of the game. Thank you.

Thanks, I couldn't understand how to set these shifts up before lol

Clear as mud! :) Seriously, this helps a LOT - thanks for taking time to explain it.

Explained extremely well! Thank you.

The discipline thing bothers me too; it's been a while since I played, but I remember one time when I was stalking a convoy and it had only been like an hour but my discipline was dropping like a rock. We weren't in danger, just happened to be submerged and actively hunting. "Oh man, I'm a proud German sailor who volunteered for the U-Boat service, and the captain had the gall to ask me to get up and help with something while we're underwater and stalking a prize! I'm so mad that he's asking me to do my duty, my duty that I signed up for, that I'm ready to mutiny!" I don't know, maybe it's better now. I remember it seeming like it dropped *way* too fast when I played.

Very clear and to the point. Thanks very much.

Thanks for this video! Truly helped a lot.

Great work thanks a lot for taking the time to work this out

Thanks for making a tutorial vid, like you said no manual for the game, thank god for KZfaq, its like back to school, for folks like me it could of been a very short game, I'm not to computer savvy, ' short attention span' but with your vid it helped a lot, I'm really getting into the game, to bad there a ending to the game reminds me of a living world type game wish it was anyhow thanks for ur time and all,- peace

Many thanks, friend! I haven't kept up with the game for a few months so a lot has changed.

Very helpful, thank you! Excited to try this setup.

Normally in the navy it used to be 3 six hour shifts, so it was an 18 hour day. a few years ago we switched it up so it's now 3 eight hour shifts (which sucks because underway you're stuck in the same place for 8 hours with the same meal before watch, and the same meal after watch, every single day. dinner when you wake up and breakfast when you get off watch gets old after a couple months). in case you were curious about how submarines do it in the modern world. if there were only two people for a watch station, we would split it up into six hour watches. 6 on, 6 off. that also gets old after a while.

Just found this video: Super job, many thanks!

As of October 2022, this has been outdated a little but the info is still good

thank you so much my dude! i've been having serious problems with this whole thing and you saved me alot of heartache lol

Nicely, and clearly explained video. Crew/Crew management had been a turn off for me + UBoat for the past few years. Indeed, having bought it, I had never played it such was my displeasure at the system / concept. Finally bit the bullet and decided to give UBoat a go and this video has helped ease the biggest pain / barrier. Slight (painless) adaptions needed to your schedules due to UBoat updates over the years, but 99.9% lifted in the end. Seems to hold up still. This vid + Some mods = me undocked finally. Thanks! :)

Dude!!! Thanks for this video. I will definitely use this method on my next voyage.

Excellent video, you explained the management system perfectly, thank-you for posting this.

Thank you for this vid man! Very good calm explanation and helps to get in the game much faster. God send for newbies like me!

Navies typically have 4hr watches except for the 2 dog watches which are 2 hours ( 1st dog 16:00 - 18:00 2nd dog 18:00 - 20:00) Submariners usually stand 2 hour watches Great tutorial and much thanks!

You should set the Captain to be free to do whatever 24 hours a day because Captains usually don't stand watches. The officers should be split up between 3 watches that are 4 hours long... starting at midnight to 4am... 4-8am... and 8 to noon, when the first officer who was off since 4am comes back on for another 4 hours. and they repeat. So you have a 12 to 4, 4 to 8, and 8 to 12 watch twice a day. Thats traditionally how we do it. engineers can get way with working 12 and 12 but you need the lookouts and the helmsmen and navigation officers to be sharp, and after 4 hours they begin to lose that edge.

Great Video. VERY Useful. BUT I have a question maybe you can answer. I followed the tutorial. I created the shifts and the priorities and created a Day and a Night shift. However when I go to the drop down box for the officers, it doesn't give me an option to make them Day or Nightshift. I get Watch Officer, Chief Boatswain, Quartermaster, Mewdic, or gunner. But no Day or night Shift. Am I missing something here? Thank You

Good video. Saves me the time to figure out this stuff

Thank you!, Just want to say that your voice is really soothing haha!

excellent tutorial, very helpful thank you

Thank you for sharing. I never would of got half of this by myself.

helped a lot .. thank you.

HELLLL YEAHHH BROTHER!!!

You absolute f**kin' Hero! Knights Cross with Oak Leaves & Diamonds awarded for that one!!!! It was bugging the hell outa me trying to work it out. Will prolly stick with the 8 hour shifts though the Officers might take a bit of wangling to get right - but at least I have the Basics. Thanks man x

thank you!!

With B128, this method no longer works. I can delete the 3 shifts, and I can go to TASK and create a DAY and NIGHT Shift. Assign priorities, but then when I try and go back to SCHEDULE, the game closes the Management Menu and returns me to the port view.

Thank you!

Thanks for the tutorial. I may try this and see how it works. My concern is there is no override. For example, if you are in the middle of an attack and the time changes to the other shift will that affect any planning, plotting, attacks in progress etc? For example, will you lose your calculations when the officer that made them goes off shift? I noticed at 10:46 you selected "Daniel Lorenz" twice for the Day Shift. I wish they would allow you to click a bunch at the same time as it is easy to overlook this.

Thanks, a clear and concise upload

Thx

Thankyou, I was wondering why my crew were simply ignoring my shifts.

I'm unable to add names to shifts. I'm trying to like you did in the video and was able to do it once, but didn't like it. I deleted and tried again and now I can label them. I don 't know if I'll have other problems.

Thank you for this tutorial, but this can be done with the latest game version? From what I see there were some problems some time ago with this and I don't wanna start to mess some things up and not be able to restore it how it was.

I dont find the option to do it ! I cant choose the preset for my officer crew member ! help plz

If you go to battle stations do the sailers and officers that are off duty and asleep also go to high alert and wake up? Or do you have to set that up yourself or do they stay asleep?

i can't do the shift thing leaders, like I got the sailors and everything setup but it won't show up with day shift or night shift I need help

I cant change the officer to any custom title like they can only be Watch officer and things like that not Day shift

I managed to set it up as you showed in the vid but... when in tasks and then in sailors tab i cannot type dayshift or nightshift therefor i cannot form squads 🤔 i do not understand how i can write something there

@2:14 Thank you! Had no idea, it always annoyed me not being able to assign an officer to the periscope because some enlisted was on it. Your CO/XO wants to use the periscope, get the flip off! for Engineering, I kept waiting for you to explain it... why you have a priority of 20 when you only assign them to do 5 things. Won't it work the same if that was Priority 10, or 11, as long as other jobs were lower such as loading torps priority 9, if you had engines at 10?

this did not work for me, when I click on tasks it bombs out of menu back to the dock screen? Weird

Hi wonder if you can still help me. I keep having this issue where when I use power switch tasks the game makes and officer leave his schedule instead of sailor I;ve tried both having the priority high and low (some vids giving slightly different info) and still officers are use before sailors?

Hoping for an updated version of your tutorials. Very well done. There have been a few changes and when I followed the this I haven’t been able to figure out why only 6-8 sailors are on duty instead of 9. The officers aren’t able to be set to a shift now either.

Food management and driving tasks are missing in my game. You show 9 tasks there at 2:27, I have 7 total tasks in my game instead of 9. The fourth one and the 7th one are missing.

my crew dont have as many job tasks, i dont have the food or cleaning, is that a mod?

Sir, why don't I show as many task on my screen as you do on your screen? I show only 5 tasks, compared to your 9. Missing are the minor ones - Mopping, Cooking, and the 2 steering station ones. Would you set you priorities any different in this case (BTW, I have expanded crew management turned on.)

also how did you get the accurate flags in the game? Plz let me know

Interesting. 12 hours Shift? In what Navy? My maybe wrong knowledge, Deutsche Marine 3-Wach-System. Portside Watch and Starbord Watch; one shift around 6-8 hours? that where also the way we do on a Schoolship. :-)

Me who came to understand how to set up the shifts. The video: u can do it however you want

I followed your management to the letter, but I am showing 11 sailors on duty.

My game doesn't allow me to rename shifts.

It makes no sense to me that you made the maximum priority 10 for some officers and the max priority 20 for others. That just doesn’t make any sense to me. Why not make 10 the max score for all officers just for consistency’s sake? Please explain.

No need to use a 10, if there are not even 10 categories.

Honestly, I neve got this game out of port because of the crew management thing. One of the least favorite parts of running a small business is setting up work schedules and managing work assignments. Why would I want to do that for entertainment when I get home? WAY TOO MUCH MICROMANAGEMENT. Boring. Tedious. Forget it.
