Default Question re: 40mm 2nd crewman changes

Still in a career in V1.46, arriving Pearl Harbor 7/31/43 to take command of USS Balao (SS-285). Was able to add fore and aft 40mm AA guns, and after fitting out the rest of the boat saved the game while in port at Pearl. Exited the game and made the appropriate crewman changes in the last Save Game, which worked just fine. I now have two crewmen on each gun.

My question is: Will it ever be possible to change the game so the manual changes to the Save Game file will no longer be required?

And one more question: Is there a way to make a mod to change a Save Game file via a load by JSGME?

I'm guessing the answer to both will be "No", because building the Save Game files is probably a UBI-coded process, not one controlled by files accessible to Modders. I'm hoping I'm wrong, but I'm not optimistic about it.

I guess I could always create a text file with the crewman changes that I can later copy into an appropriate Save Game file when needed.

Thanks for your time.
