Wether the boat was sinking or having just sunk an enemy ship, it's still normal. Worst of all they don't warn you of a closing DD or being under shell fire until you're hit.

In short they seem like automatons.

I really think the devs should have detailed 10 or 12 key men, and given them meaningful abilities, and left the rest as "crew".

Armistead mentioned the XO. How do you know who is the XO?

While I'm convinced that my deck gun crew, despite having high numbers in the "Guns" category, couldn't hit a stationary aircraft carrier from 500 yards even if it was painted bright orange and loaded with magnets to attract the shells, I've never had a problem with my helmsman not keeping the course I've ordered. That goes for stock 1.5 as well as TMO 2.0.
