</>Common questions about Battle-Hardened Crew (Instant XP)
What does Battle-Hardened Crew do in UBOAT?
Battle-Hardened Crew (Instant XP) hands your U-boat crew their experience without the wait in UBOAT. Normally a green crew has to survive patrol after patrol to become the veterans who reload quickly, aim accurately and hold their nerve under a depth-charge attack. This mod shortcuts that grind: type in an XP amount and award it to every crew member at once, or press a single button to instantly push every sailor and officer to the very top of their trade. It is built for players who want to start a tough campaign already commanding an elite team, or who just lost their best hands and need to rebuild fast. It is a premium mod on ProjectMods, the community-first PC mod manager.
What is the difference between Give Crew XP and Max Out All Crew?
The two buttons in Battle-Hardened Crew do related but different things in UBOAT. Give Crew XP works with the XP Amount you set: type in a number, press the button, and that much experience is handed to every member of your crew, letting them level up gradually and by a controlled amount. Max Out All Crew ignores the amount entirely and instantly promotes every sailor and officer straight to the top of their trade in one press, no numbers, no repeats. Use Give Crew XP when you want a measured boost that still leaves room to grow, and Max Out All Crew when you simply want a fully elite crew right now. Both apply to your whole complement, not just one station.
Does Battle-Hardened Crew boost officers as well as ordinary sailors?
Yes. Battle-Hardened Crew treats your whole complement as one in UBOAT, so both the ordinary sailors and your specialist officers benefit. When you press Give Crew XP, the experience is spread across everyone aboard, and when you press Max Out All Crew, every single person, deck crew, engine room hands, and your officers alike, is pushed to the top of their trade. That matters because in UBOAT your officers' skills shape how well whole systems perform, so maxing them out lifts the effectiveness of the entire boat, not just individual gunners or hydrophone operators. If you recruit a new officer or sailor later, just press the button again to bring the newcomer up to the same elite standard.
How much XP should I put in the XP Amount box?
The XP Amount box in Battle-Hardened Crew is yours to set in UBOAT, so it comes down to how big a jump you want each time you press Give Crew XP. A smaller amount nudges your crew up a level or two, which is handy if you like the sense of progression and just want to skip the slowest early grind. A larger amount can vault fresh recruits toward veteran status in a single press. If you would rather not fiddle with numbers at all and simply want the best possible crew immediately, skip the box entirely and use Max Out All Crew instead. There is no wrong value, the field exists so the pace of growth is under your control.
When would I use Battle-Hardened Crew during a campaign?
Battle-Hardened Crew shines at two moments in a UBOAT campaign. The first is the very start: instead of nursing a raw crew through their early, clumsy patrols, you can award experience or max everyone out and command a sharp, capable team from your first contact, great if you want the challenge to come from the enemy, not from your own green sailors. The second is disaster recovery. If a depth-charging kills experienced hands or you have to replace an officer, a fresh recruit can drag whole systems down; one press brings the newcomer up to standard so the loss does not snowball. It is a premium mod on ProjectMods for players who want to spend their patrols hunting, not grinding.
