Pilot dies (drowns) after ejecting over water

[Pmedic548]

I was playing a single mission over the gulf in the F-16 and had to eject.  I decided to not exit the game until after the pilot landed in the water.  He promptly sank and died.  With all the survival gear that a pilot has when he ejects, (should also be a life raft hanging about 25 feet below the pilot), a water landing should not result in the death of the pilot.  I would like to see the pilot be able to survive most if not all water ejections.  And if you look historically, some naval pilots have successfully ejected from a jet after it has hit the water.

Perhaps this could be expanded to SAR capabilities in general added to DCS without the need for scripts.

Yep - long time request. It's even worse. Even if you land on the shore and take a few steps into small river - you're dead. Fire? No problem.

This has been a meme in DCS for at least as long I've been playing the game. To DCS pilots the sea is lava!

There should be a full Paleolithic hunter gatherer survival simulation for downed pilots.
