Perhaps would be better to not use a link between radar - "battle stations" action.
Because the Deckgun crew will be exposed if is just a air-strike, and the same applies for the AA exposure in case of a ship engagement.
Would be better to link the actions dependent on what the target is.
plane -> activate AA + DControl
ship -> activate deckgun + DControl
both -> activate AA + deckgun + DControl
You added a good point... the damage control crew would also need to be activated (just in case).
Once the thread gone (destroyed/lost contact) the crew return to their idle slots (sleeping/maintaining).
It will be a greate mod if this is possible
Cheers
