Has occurred to me that maybe the reason for not modelling crewmen is because a decision has been made to avoid gore and gruesome reality in SOW.

We know the accuracy with which damage is going to be modelled for the aircraft - individual bullets tracked producing holes in the right locations. To equally accurately model the effects of hits on the human body would make this game X-rated. Do people want to see an accurate depiction of what happens when your co-pilot takes a 20mm cannon shell in the head?

We've heard the stories of tail-gunners being shovelled and hosed out of the turrets of returning bombers.

Maybe Oleg has decided it is best to sidestep this whole issue?

Or maybe (as per the Stuka screenshot) we'll get crew members after all and Oleg will just tone down the 'gore' effect?
