Hi guys
Thank you both for the replies, I am still unable to pick up pilots though.
As I said in my original post, thats what Im doing. The life preserver button never lights up, no matter where I put the binoculars... So I guess I have a couple of follow up questions that might help clarify
1. Are there any subtle prerequisites that I might not be following? (I'm wondering if there is an issue like with torpedoes where you dont get tubes reloaded if you are in silent running, or your crew refusing to follow your orders because you forgot to turn off battle stations two weeks ago).
2. Do all pilots have red smoke, or only allied pilots?
3. How close do they need to be from the boat to be rescued? (if they are close enough that they could 'climb on' they are usually too low to be seen in my binoculars.)
Im sorry to trouble you guys with this again, but I'd really like to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
