Not so when backed up by veraviable data. The difference is that you 'feel' that this is realistic, with no foundation in fact and a lot to suggest strongly otherwise. That is not to say that I am against you playing this way, I just dislike seeing 'this is real cause I assume so'. Anyway, that is my growly rebutal
No hard feelings?
I am very much in agreement with you about wanting, enjoying the 'this is my crew' part of the simulation. This is why in the Tonnage War mod we now have it so that deck gun and AA crew are easily wounded and killed by 20mm gunfire and that the crew in the conning tower will get wounded and killed by 3" gunfire.
Making attacking a merchant ship equiped with a gun or going toe to toe with a Elco a risky venture. Attacking an escort, well........
We have tied the wounding/death of your crew into the morale. Have a crew member wounded and the entire crew's morale gets a big hit, get one killed and it plummets.
Morale is part of the compartment effeciency formula, so low morale will have an adverse effect. Coupled with the fact that we will only have the base level crew available making your loss even greater should you have nutured him through the ranks and skills.
