Alarm schedule. Please!

[Red_Seven_]

We all know that in the moment you sound the alarm you have to rearrange at least half of your officers because they jump out of their beds to do tasks you don't want them to do. Additionally the regular schedule is still active in the background so shift switches will take place at times that might be very unfavorable.

Just recently I was trying to get into a convoy silently. When I used TC to speed up the slow approach the clock hit 10 am and my captain had a shift switch. He's usually doing the navigation but was on the attack periscope with one sailor assisting him. When he went on duty at 10 am the schedule assigned another sailor to assists him. The problem with this is that a second assistant will operate the observation periscope regardless of the crew schedule having no priority for theat periscope.

Next at 10:02 am I realized what happened but it was already too late and I got spotted seconds after deactivating TC...

To fix ridiculous situations like this please give us an alarm schedule. The crewmanagement is a vital part of that game so then let us manage the crew in all situations.

Alarm schedule - no
You can't schedule what time on the clock you want the alarm to go off.
I think you mean something else, but alarm schedule isn't the right words for it.

We need an only player activated alarm option..... or just download the no auto alarm mod on the Steam workshop.

He means he wants the ability to assign what the officers go to do during Alarm status, instead of it being a crapshoot. I do agree that "Alarm schedule" was not the right wording though.

A schedule that takes place when you sound the alarm. You're thinking of the regular schedule with planned alarm times and that doesn't make any sense.

Such a schedule would be extremely helpful. Or, auto-canceling every duty and micro-managing towards the engagement would be fine to me too.

This would be a great addition to the game, to be able to say "right, alarm, Ace Repair guy, on the command post, Ace Hydrophone guy to the hydrophone." etc

Just get a alarm warning as it is but a question if you wil turn the alarm with a yes or no !

Ship sightet captein wil you tur the alarm on sir !

Alarm tasking would be brilliant, also the ability to BAN officers from doing things. A half dozen times I have had engineers start carrying wounded out of a flooding compartment instead of just fixing the flooding. Also the fact you can't move the wounded if you don't have beds for them to sleep in... Idiocy. Let him drown because he won't be comfy?

Old post but I just saw this after posting the same thing. (didn't see this)

Did anyone find an unmodded work around?
