Adalbert	As all my "formula-posts" have been recently bumped, I was approached to put them all into one post so it could be stikied... here it is. These guides contain advanced information. If you are just starting to play the game please go ahead and read Obst's guides on www.nf-guides.com. That webpage gives you all the information you need to start with. If you have done that and are still curious about some details, go read ahead. Since it has quite some information, I divided it into several parts, that are posted as replies by myself. 0) Ability - how they are calculated / base stats 1) BO's Potential - guideline length / marking distance 2) Accuracy - where's the cap, how is it calculated 3) Reload - where's the cap 4) Torpedo - reload cap 5) AAW - chance of shooting down planes at horizontal and vertical distances with auto fire 6) Repair - Repairrate and Burnrate 7) Restore - SD 8) Engine . A - General . B - Overheat time . C - Base speed . D - natural overheat speed . E - overheat speed with crew 9) Aircraft - not yet posted 10) Fighter - not yet posted 11) Bomber - not yet posted 12) Special Sailors . A - Sonarmen If you have questions or remarks to any of those posts - please send a PM to me. Also if you think that you have found a mistake, please contact me directly as it most probably will just be a misunderstanding and I don't want an obsolete discussion in this post as it just blows it up and might scare ppl away. I have not included all "proof" in this post - if you are looking for some numbers how I came up with the formulas, feel free to look for my old posts from between 2005 and now, and you will find more information in there.

Corkus	I got a question about planesman and sonarman. Is it better to keep them as 2nd sonarman/2nd planesman so they get better repair/restore abilities? I did some searching and reading and it seems like there are two camps of thought. One side says planesman and sonar are uncapped so it's better to class them on time. The other opinion is there are caps and one is easily reachable(sonar) so it's better to delay promotion since the sailor only get +1 on potential while losing much on repair/restore. So that's the question to all you sub gurus. How do you promote your sailors and what are the difference?
