Having crewmembers visible is ok if they actualy do something. If they don't, I would like them to be optional. In a stuka or 110 where you don't see them all the time it's not big of a deal. In a bomber where crewmembers sit in full view it could be a bit of a immersion breaker if they act like zombies.

Aw, they included Lt. Dan in the game? Can't wait to find Forrest and Bubba...

But yeah, no crew animation, sadly.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think the original purpose of the thread was to discuss what kind of mission specific function can the AI crewmen perform, not their animation.

I mean, Feathered was probably not asking "can you see the gunners hold the guns", but "can the gunners tell me useful things a real gunner would tell his captain". Sorry if i misunderstood, it just seemed to me that this is more about how to "use" the AI crew and less about their animation.
