How can I wake up my dozy crew?

Hi, I just bought DW on Steam, but despite clicking every "Autocrew" button in sight, my Perry crew still won't lift a finger to help themselves.
For example when sea-skimming missiles are coming in, the crew won't activate the radars and CIWS, and won't fire SAM's or turn the vessel to open its firing arcs. Sometimes they'll pop chaff/flares, but that's all they'll do.
So I have to do an arcade-type clickfest to do everything myself, including having to activate the radars and CIWS, having to individually assign targets to my SAMs, and having to turn the ship to open its CIWS firing arc, all in the few seconds before the skimmers arrive, a near-impossible task!
Do ownship crews always have to be nannied along like that in DW, or have I missed a setting somewhere to wake them up?
