I wonder how's the AI in SH4 :hmm:
SH4 AI is the same...
Just one thing: Usually destroyers didn't tried to pursuit and destroying these small craft for two reasons:
1) The faster and more maneuvrable S-boat could bring the dd into a trap ( other schnellboats or other friendly forces )
2)S-boat attacks usually were carried on in narrow sea passages, like the English channel or the baltic sea, full of minefields. Some times altering the course would mean death .
Instead, the dd just repelled the attacks without running after the retreating attackers
That is right the DD always protected the convoy the attack on Schnell boote
was done by MTB`s and MGB`s
