There are times when SH5 Screws up, bad, when it comes to Ai behavior. This....is one of them
I approached a convoy of about 8 destroyers and 15+ merchants. so i start to sneak in, just beyond the destroyer screen to fire my acoustic torpedoes. before this i had sunk the Nelson and about ~75000 Tons of Merchant shipping so far. So i go in, tiptoe past the destroyers and blow my load. First 4 run clean. After a minute or two of Riposte Battlestations reloading, i fire the next salvo. All running great. But at about 1 KM they start to listen. Every last Torpedo 180s and shoots right back for me. By then there were destroyers near me. So i figured that they are trying to sink the destroyers. But the to destroyers converging on me were at bearing 70 in relation to me, and all my torpedoes were bee-lining right for me. At about 500M i order all stop and dive. But even as i slowly sank down, they were still coming RIGHT at me. i order hard to port with whatever knottage i had left. but they still wouldnt let up. But then they made a sharp turn towards the 2 destroyers coming right at me. I restarted the engines and tried to maneuver to avoid Dc's. Two torpedoes hit one destroyer and sank it. But then ,the torpedoes sharp turn and head towards me AGAIN. I Cut the engines, and then the torpedoes turn again and head for the destroyer. this goes back and forth for a couple minutes. But then i go up to periscope depth and start to try and just run away. following the same pattern the torpedoes start heading to me again. i all stop when theyre about 700 meters away. but they dont let up this time. they start to close. 400.....300...200 i crash dive, and get to about 19 meters when 4/8 torpedoes hit me and completely obliterated my boat. so this was obvioulsy a glitch. In all the times ive used acoustics, theyve never come back to chase me at 1 KM, and certainly dont try and kill me. plus i was at 19 meters and they still sunk my uboat. anyone else have problems with them?
