A nice touch I think...animated would be even better....I really dislike stalking those apparently unmanned "ghost ships " on the high seas. The crewmen figures on the men of war in SHIII helped some with the illusion of manned ships.
Why not go whole hog and have some troops in the water abandoning the torpedoed troop ships?????.....legitimate targets of war I think they were called....
....man the 50's gentlemen!
