rescue downed pilot ?

Palindromeria · 04-01-06, 10:28 AM

i was goofin around and created a mission where 2 opposing carrier forces basically just blast away at each other while i simply watch the show in 3d from the comfort of 300m depth

So alot of planes get shot down and alot of downed pilots appear in rafts and in some cases pilot adrift alone in the water.

I thought that there was some type of way to rescue friendly pilot / capture enemy pilot but after plugging in various search terms to the adobe docs and to this forum the only thing i find is the lone reference in the "icon" chart denoting that the symbol means downed pilot.

what am i missing ?

my hope had been to script a sub 2v2 with a bunch of downed pilots to save or capture.

i have noticed a few rafts sink , giving me the impression their is some type of hardcoded time limit to reach the raft .

i had hoped that this kind of mission might give subs a reason to start their engines and do something other than sit around for 90 minutes tracking shrimp and whales waiting for someone else to get bored as all get out, and subsequently fall asleep and have their forehead land on the all ahead flank switch.
