Anything changed while I've been away?

Let me clarify- in real life, surely captains don't have to micro-manage everything on their ships?
For example suppose several enemy sea-skimming missiles are incoming, surely he leaves it to his weapons officer (or an automated system) to engage them with the ships SAMs?
But in DW (as far as I know) we have no power to delegate things; we have to personally do it hands-on ourselves.
Like I said, our CIWS is wonderfully automatic, all we have to do is make sure it's switched on and it's a pity we can't automate our SAM's the same way.
I mean, our place as captain is on the bridge, not having to go down to the weapons centre to take over everything down there.
So in that respect DW is not realistic unless a mod exists to automate all the weapon systems (SAMs/Gun/torpedoes etc)
