ah thats interesting, there is allot of sustained firing in this game with big battle ships coming to blows and my main concern is repetition. The method you described is a simple yet flexible way to deal with long sustained fire and has the benefit of what RedSonic01 says about baking in swells. Thanks for sharing :)

wonderful insight, thanks for taking the time to give me your thoughts. For the particular project I am working on I think for now we will have to use the lopping method.

I feel they may been over dramatising as I know he has listend to the whole track a few times. This person is someone who's opinion I really trust and have done for many years, I think this style of music is just really not his cup of tea and was not being his usually subjective self lol.

Thanks Chris, some times when you work on a sound for so long even the errors can sound like part of the mix so fresh ears are always welcome :)

Agreed, generally this is done with the engine or toolset.
