I'm wondering If we can see the crew die? Will we see them get locked in a flooded compartment and drown while banging on the door?

Will we see a crew member be killed by an aircraft's machine guns and slump into the sea from off the deck?

Will we see a shell pierce the sub and kill a crew member, and having his corpse stay where he fell instead of just slowly vanishing?

I'm not saying a lot of gore, just allowing us to see them die. It wouldn't mean an adult rating, even PG games have deaths, I mean we are sending hundreds and hundreds of men to their graves, we should be able to see ours die as well.

It'll really be immersion breaking If all of a sudden a guy we are talking to just vanishes into thin air and we are just told 'so and so has died'. It didn't matter as much before but now that we can move about freely around the sub, it would be stupid to go to so much effort to immerse the player and then just have your crew *poof* and vanish.
