also when the actual death occurs in SH3... the 3d rendering of the crewman just vanishes into thin air.
would be nice to see them slump at their stations etc. (nice in the way of eye candy, not nice in the way if their demise)

BINGO, give this man a cigar!
I'm talking full frontal seeing them die, we are in the control room during an attack, suddenly a shell rips though and a crew member next to you gets thrown to the floor dead. To compromise I'm willing to accept blood and gore is not needed If it runs the risk of raising the game rating.
That combined with the new FPS would make this game insanely immersive.
Without it there would be a lack of immersion with your crew, we all get attached to certain crew members, especially those who have made it through so many patrols, when so many others may have not come back. To have the game tell you that the guy you have grown attached to as your faithful navigator has just vanished into thin air, is a slap in the face to the immersion the player would have found himself in prior to this.
Maybe I'm an old softy but I have to admit I do get attached and I enjoy promoting my men, knowing who's best at what etc...
Again to have an old sea dog who you have promoted through the ranks, trained and have served with since your first patrol to suddenly just disappear with no mention, or regard for his death is also a slap in the face. I don't mind him dying, but I want there to be some kind of memorial or something. They go to all the effort of animating the crew, then we go to all the effort of promoting then and upgrading their skills, then its just, 'sorry he died, you didn't see it, but it happened... carry on'.
I have been rude and havn't acknowledged a previous poster who mentioned that the ability to see deaths was already implemented in SH4.
If this is true then I am hopeful they will carry it on to SH5, and I hope these deaths were not just viewable on the deck, I hope you could see men die inside the sub as well.
In the end we'll all have to wait and see what the devs implement. It's probably too late in the development for them to change it, but I hope they read this thread and take people's opinions onboard.
