Should MOB be implemented in the game, so that, for example, in heavy storm there was a chance of a crew member falling over board and be in need of rescue?

It wouldn't have to be that hard to pick him up
The weather is so bad that he can not keep himself in position, and washes over board, so how the heck you gonna get him back ? He will be lost forever, you never be able to get him back aboard.

A realistic setting for when men are washed overboard woul result in a complaining community (at least a part of it) because they "can not man deck guns" setting would have to be even more strict then in SHIII. Which original settings cause a lot of complaining. People seem to prefer to have man on the bridge/guns in very unrealictic conditions.

Personnaly I never man bridge or guns in a storm, I am wise and submerge, coming up to PD every now and then, so this man over board thingy would just ad realism for me, which is what I like !
