There has been a long standing issue with the Stock game of injuring/killing your Watch Crew if under attack by Depth Charges IF the crew is left in these positions during the attack. Your Watch Crew can suffer greater damage than most other compartments (Engine Room; Torpedo Room; etc.) if left at their positions during such attack. The game didn't think of having two different places these crewmen could be during all aspects of sub conditions. As expected, the Watch Crew is more vulnerable to damage when the crew is topside and at it's Watch position than other crewmen. However, when submerged, the game doesn't provide greater protection for these men......their just as vulnerable as when they were topside when under Depth Charge attack. Having the Watch Crew moved to the Watch Crew Lounge when submerged will prevent unnecessary damage to them. Just remember to move them back into the Watch Crew positions when you surface so they can get on with their duties.

The Gun Crews have the same issue. They are in a more vulnerable position too when compared to the other crewmen (Command Room; Torpedo Room; etc.) and when left at their gun positions (even submerged). The Gun Crews will suffer greater damage than other crews in their respective compartments when damage is occurred. Ultimate starts them out in the Damage Control Team slots. Their safe there from harm, however when moved to the gun slots they too will become vulnerable as if they were topside, even though you're submerged. Remember to move them back to the Damage Control Team positions when their not in use topside.
