+2 to more effects.
-over 9000 to the sailors. I don't like the idea of that, and also would be more resource consuming than the other things.
Another reason for no sailors. My grandfather was on the Indianapolis when it went down, he lost his 2 best friends to the sharks. He was afraid of bodies of water larger than a pool after that (good thing he lived in NE).

Relax, it was all made in good fun. I have relatives with similar stories of loss in unimaginable ways during war, there never is any disrespect towards veterans in my posts. I'd be insulting most of my family and myself if I did.

Ships turrets should explode when there're destroyed, similar to the way tanks explode now.

 Have it random ie. Massive explosion then sinks, rolls over then sinks, goes down like it does now. And when hit a huge smoke cloud thats seen for miles.

2-3 explosions, a turret flies off, (like the tank's effect), lists and slowly sinks.

I'd like to see the UNDERSIDE of the ships modeled-- right now, it's like theres just a flat spot at a slight angle on the back of the ships... let's see some rudders and screws :aok

Personally, I'd prefer a giant explosion of epic proportions. Unrealistic you say? Well so is our current gravity defying death of a wanna-be Titanic. :rolleyes:

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

I'd like a couple of different animations at least - maybe she rolls over, or stays upright but settles bow or stern down.  Just some variety.  And maybe the destroyers could break in half.  Do they just disappear when destroyed now?
