Well... it wouldn't be less unrealistic. IMHO the best solution is still, like it is now... because in RL, you probably won't be able to really see dead enemy gunners or pilots so often and so clearly, that you can tell, if he is really dead. So in most cases pilots in WW2 didn't realize, when they killed a man (except on chrashes without chutes), and then they often felt guilty anyway.
So what purpose would it have to be eager to display death in a noticable way?
Thats not, what we are onto: killing. Hm?
I personally had no problem with slump over gunner bodies... in the end, they just could be hiding.
