You can always try to treat the red bodies not as real dead human bodies, but rather as the metal (aluminium I suppose) "thing" (we call it "nieśmiertelnik" in Polish, that means "unmortaler", "immortaler") that every soldier has attached to his neck or arm. You just collect them and on returning to base pass to where you should, and that's it.
The problem is that the bodies still occupy some space (slots) in your boat, but you can move them to unused compartments of her. These could be treated as the dead soldiers belongings (personal stuff and so on) that you wish to pass to their families or maybe even bury in a symbolic grave, pass over to a Naval Museum or whatever.
And thus they can be still recorded as lost in action in your career files. The realism doesn't have to suffer a lot... |
Excellent idea!!
The 'things' you're thinking of are called 'dog tags' in the US.
