Thanks Lawndart, and welcome. At least the lifeboat spawning is a positive.

I didn't shoot at the life boats but I did shoot at pilots that bailed out. When you hit them, their shoots colaps for a few seconds but then redeploy. And I belive they live.

Mabe he used a reserve did you try shooting him twice ?

The fact that his body doesnt decintergrate kinda answers my question tho, it doesnt sound like people in liferafts are going to act like a mouse in a blender.
I was hopeing they would fly off in all directions like the gunner crews in sh3 at least
bummer

I did several times, they have many reserve shoots.

One thing about the graphics, if you get used to the post processing filter ( the grainy look) things really do look pretty cool... They did intend for us to play that way so sure.

From the screens I've seen, I personally think the effect looks decent, almost period like. I don't have the game yet so can merely judge from a few of the good screenshots I've seen.
