Unfortunately I do have the unpleasant experience of getting hit...
In command of the AA guns, I'm often a much better shot than my crew. I especially have gotten good at hitting targets with the early model 3.7cm, so I don't like to let the crew waste ammo.
I feel myself tensing up and almost feeling the impact, with gritted teeth, when the bombs come down and the tower is rung like a gong.
Suddenly, the view shifts and know it's really bad, when the watch crew comes back on duty...
I check the crew management screen, and right click on the red man and "bury dead crew at sea".

Or, my favorite, is when I shoot down an incoming plane, and it crashes full force into the sub, but that's another subject altogether...
