Noticed that a number of the smaller Japanese destroyers have an 'open' bridge. Which, with crew manning the AA guns and other posts on the wings of the bridge, look very, very strange being completely empty. Like a car moving without a driver! Has there been any effort put into adding some extra bodies here and there on the ships to make them somewhat more believably crewed?

(I mean, I really like the improvement of having animated crew walking around on deck in the first place - VERY WELCOME! But some extra people to fill out the watch stations visible from the outside would also be nice.)
