I am okay with an abstraction of crew experience, crew fatigue, crew health, etc...

But I don't want to have to play mommy to each crew member. Such is the case in corporate management, rifle squads, tank crews ... There is nothing unique about it. I play subsims for the unique aspects of the Atlantic convoy war or the more modern capability of nuke boats which have yet to be validated in real combat.

When I say "mommy", I do not mean to degrade the female members of our community, and there definitely are some. It is a valid and important role, but within in the family; not the military unit. Soldiers who cannot manage their own personal needs should not have been inducted in the first place.
