Don't remember seeing any survivors to gun down after squishing subs in MP Crow, but if I had they would have been wellcome to some rule 303 justice.

What say you ?

This issue was actually quite a big deal for Ubisoft. The Rating of the game could have been altered by including the 'survivors' feature. Those who don't want their careers to end abruptly might want to think hard about shooting survivors in row boats.

Many a time my depth charges ripped open some hapless sub driver's pressure hull in MP,while he was deep and running like scared fox from the hounds.However,if we managed to catch one on the surface though,ramming could result in survivors,albeit only temporarily.

Well I would only gun survivors when the surwhivors are soldiers (like Mush Morton did). He killed survivors of an troop transport, saying that life boats are just smaller means of transportation an therefore fair game.

A lot of u-boat crews were rescued by allies. i don´t see the good point of firing against survivors.

Talk to most any submariner (or sailor) and they will tell you shootong survivors is simply an act of murder. Mush Morton did it and got away with it but no other skippers followed his example.

I won't do it.

No way I will gun down survivors. In fact, I highly doubt you'll be able to in the first place. And if you do, it should work like torpedoing Red Cross hospital ships in GWX - in other words, career at an end.

It may have prevented him from getting the Medal of Honor.

Right. Good luck hitting only the soldiers in the life-boats, though. Most of the "marines" sunk by Morton were in reality POWs from India.

This Mush Morton guy sounds like a dick

I'd prefer to save my ammunition for airplanes, barges, and other small craft, thank you very much.

Safe-Keeper · 02-02-07, 03:02 PM

Yeah, I can picture the feeling of being sunk by a flight of Zeroes becuase you've expended all your machine gun ammo on innocents in life-boats, leaving you defenseless.

From what ive read and understand, he genuinly hated the enemy (japan) with every fiber of his being.

That said, Japan as an enemy was a bit different. It's not like English/American vs Germans. Although from different countries, they share similar morals and codes of conduct.

The japanese on the otherhand, had a totally different mentality, living under the code of bushido. Surrender to a japanese was the most dishonrable thing. To surrender was to be less then human. It's not like they didnt apply a second standard to those they captured either. A japanese soldier or sailor could be expected to fight to the bitter end. They were tough, mean son's of b*tch's.

And that applies to everyone on a ship in war. Why not shoot surviving sailors from a fishing boat? After all, we don't want them to get on another vessel "hauling fish to hurt the cause", do we

?
