Wolfpacks - what has been done so far:
SqareSteelBar managed to enlarge the operation radius (fire range) of the Sergbutos AI-Subs from 2-3km to 7-8km. In my tests, they now shoot over long ranges, before they are detected by the escorts. This will reduce the amount of Subs required to intercept a convoy. They are mainly needed to deviate the escorts, so that the player maybe finds an opportunity to attack.
LGN1 wrote the pseudo-code for a very basic AI of the BDU.
h.sie now can access via Assembler code the current position of the player sub as well as the values of the TDC dials which can be used for a contact report to tell the BDU about the couse and the speed of the convoy.
Still not very optimistic that we will have wolfpacks soon, but little progress we made.
