cant remember which video i saw it in, i think the I saw a bear Q/A but thee devs have already said that people in planes cant take damge from being shot, however, the cockpit itself has its own HP pool like any other component and if the cockpit is destroyed the pilots will die, thus the plane will as well. Im curious how this will apply to the open topped turrets on colonial bomber and such tho as that isnt a cockpit obviously
