funny you mention this. The other day, my men shot down total of 8 overhead H8Ks, Zeros, and Betties, only that their downed pilots shot at my men, so I ordered no prisoners taken onboard. I told my WO to shoot all downed pilots on site. Unethical yeah, but they started it.

Wow! How Cool! Is this just a feature in the Modded game or does this happen in stock as well??
You say that a downed enemy airman shot at your sub?! (Which by the way is a historical fact), this is the first time I've heard of ANY enemy in the water, lifeboats, ect shooting at the subs. I am gonna' go to special lengths to see if it will happen in my game. If it does, it adds another element of realism that makes you decide if you shoot them or leave them to their fate. Thanks for the tip. D40

This is a funny image. I can just imagine my WO shouting: "we're taking damadge sir!", and the way S-boats have been tweaked in RFB, they might be able to do some serious hull damadge. |

To Oskar123, Welcome aboard!!
As some of us may know, a lifeboat is sinkable, and if it's the ."wooden" larger type, you'll get a credit for it, 'Sunk: Lifeboat 1Ton'. I don't know about the smaller life-rafts as I've never sunk one before. I have never had (so far) anyone in a lifeboat shoot at my boat yet, but I will try and get near them and see what happens. Yeah, In fact it was a torpedo that was meant for a ship on the other side of sinking merchant, when the Lifeboat from the merchant came around and got in the way, the torpedo hit the lifeboat and ...well...let's just say we turned that lifeboat into a rocket-ship. I don't think there was any pieces larger than a quarter. Cheers D40

Yes life boats and life rafts give you 1 ton and they are counted as merchants.
And if you don't understand what Dogfish means with rocketship, download Rockin' Robbins' Subnuclear torpedos mod and shoot a destroyer once. It'll end up to knockin' on heavens' door Literally.. Sorry about going off topic but I've wondered many times what would happen if the ship or a plane or something would fell on a warship... But can anyone confirm is it even possible to take Prisoners of war from those jap life boats or is it just a mod feature?

Concur, lifeboats and rafts are sinkable, tho I've never wasted a torpedo on them - they make great practice targets for the deck gun crews.
I also wish we could take POW's from downed A/C or lifeboats.
