"I keep hearing the little "hit" sound, as I spray a target with bullets, yet they don't die (one guy was spewing smoke as I got three "hit" sounds in a row, still didn't die!)"
This actually speaks well of the game and the damage model, IMO. The planes should be able to get shot up, exploding should be a function of where they get shot and what the plane is.
Haven't seen explosions at respawn, but we have seen people at the start of the round seem to either spawn too close causing it, or they spawn so close that when one moves out of "formation" they collide.
As for MP rooms, I think that will pick up as more people finish the game and have a good number of planes unlocked. Many people don't even know the game came out early. It will pick up. If you have a good connection (upload speed in particular) just host a room. People pop in with my friends and I very quickly. We see no lag at all, unlike almost every other game out there at launch.
