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.

Finback · 02-02-07, 01:35 PM

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.

Mush Morton sounds like an asshat. lol

Mush also thought a destroyer was no match for any sub at battle depth
either.

I guess I will just have to kill more to make up for you guys. This is a war people, you fight a war to win a war. I should have my grandfather share with you some of his WW2 stories of fighting the japanese. He managed a Japanese prison camp for a few months in New Guinea. The japanese were so fanatical they were highly dangerous to their prison keepers. I think some of the things done would be considered war crimes now.......way worse then Abu Garab.

Just that warfare is an brutal insult to human dignity does not mean it should be as much so as possible. "War is terrible, so we can be terrible when waging war" is a non-functional argument.

A sad chapter in American history. But it has no bearing on whether gunning down survivors in life-boats is right or wrong.
