Point taken. Although, from what I remember in SH4, for example, if you had to choose two crewmen to man the AA gun, you would be able to choose two crewmwn with gunnery skill 85/100, over less able crewmen with a score of say, 25/100 in gunnery. Moreover, if you kept using the same two excellent gunners and they shot down numerous aircraft on patrol, their experience would shoot up, more than if they had remained idle during the attack. These men obviously deserve medals. Same with torpedo room crew and the rest of the crew throughout the boat.
As an added note, with the accumulation of experience for specific crewmembers tied to their direct action in combat on patrol, the u-boat commander is given the ability to improve his mediocre crewmembers through "on the job training".
