Title: debris.wav again...lol

Is that file only supposed to be played when you get hit by debis?

I was in a PT boat near an nme cv and was getting lit up by ack- and it sounded like all hell breaking loose - almost sounded like a chaingun of damage going off.

Also happened in a b24 - wasn't sure if it was my debris hitting drones or what....

anyone else?

Is a small bug of debri hitting you when it's your own debri from an ack hit.

Anybody else get run over by a CV while in a PT yet?  It pushed me underwater and rolled me about five times and though it righted at the end, all my engines were damaged.  Very odd experience and I don't recall that happening before.

I didn't even know there was an underwater.  

What does it look like?

It doesn't look like anything other than the underside of the polygons.  I was tumbling though, so it was hard to get a good look.  It certainly didn't look like "underwater", but it acted like it.  The PT's bouancy kept pushing it to the surface where it would get knoked under by the CV again.

The initial impact was neat as I watched the bow of the PT get pushed under, and as my view point was still above the surface it looked ok, but bad in a "oh crap" fashion.



Another change I noticed was that the main guns on the CA are now aimed from the gunnery nest and not from the turret.  Much better.

I like the new debris.wav, but when I get hit in a tank and it sounds like a pebble bouncing off of it, it just doesnt have that "You've been shot" effect. :)

Once, while the cv was turning, my takeoff in a F4U failed and I ended up falling off the deck in front of the cv.  The cv pushed me along until I bailed.  I recorded it, but for some reason when I play it back I see me plane being pushed along the water but the cv is shown about 50 yards offset to the side.
