Are japanese Naval Sailors cosmetic or are they a sensor?

I'm playing around with S3D (getting familiar with it again) and I added a crewman to a CHIDORI near the lookout post on the ships forward superstructure. I read enough log entries to know Japanese vessels always had extra personnel as lookouts during the war.

So the question is are IJN sailors 'eye candy' only for the deck -or are they also a sensor in SH4? I know you also have to edit an equipment file for them to show as well as the DAT file.

To the best of my knowledge, all sailors rendered are eye candy. The game files process the sensors separately.
