[REL] Haramirs Escorts Self Awareness Mod 1.1

This Mod makes Escorts much more aggresiv and Convoy attacks much more harder then in Stock SH5. This has been archivied by adding some more realistic strategies and adding a new status model for escorts. For more information read the 'readme' or the information below.

This Mod doesnt include any modded sensor settings. I recommend to use a sensor mod additionaly like Ducimus 'RUB_AI_Sensor_Tweaks' or my
'Haramirs Sensor Mod V1.1' wich you can find here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=165675.

cothyso have merged the V1.1 with BARF Damage Assessment v1.1. Wich is a great idea. HESAM will support BARF DA in the next version.

Warning !!!
THis Mod is a Script Mod. Scripts can have several side effects in the gameplay and can have logical errors. So be aware and do at least a copy of the Original Folder regarding to this Mod.
For this Mod this is ...SH5/data/scripts/ai or use the JSGME Mod Enabler.

1.1
Balancing issues for later war Convoys. During later war, the convoys will be heavily protected by escorts. Up to 35 and more escorts are placed in a circle around the whole Convoy. Gap between the Escorts is lower then 1000 meter. So with permanent Alert State they allways detect me, even if im in Silent Running Mode at Periscope depth with both engine off.
-Added a new State for Escorts (StateCruiseEscort). Escort Sensors are reduced to 70% during Cruise State (if they dont are aware of you).

1.0
- Ship Operation Strategy Follow :
Added a new Ship Strategy and syncronized with the existing ones wich cause the Escort to go for there contact with AK (full speed) above a Contact range of 800 Meters and Contact is submerged.
While Contact is sufaced they already do that. But now they will continue AK when you crash dive or even when they detect you above 800 Range while you are submerged. It only works for 'Ship Operation Follow' and Escorts that have a weight > 1000 kg for now. For the lighter escorts i will add a similiar strategy in a next version. THere are more Strategies for escort groups wich need some more investigation, debuging and testing activities from my side. And yes, we have now the power to develop our own strategies. I see great, great Mods on the horizon belonging to the AI.
- Ship State Model :
Added a new State just for Escorts and syncronized with the existing ones.
Now, all Escorts will use there Sensors with 100% effeciency belonging to their crew rating while they are on Cruise.
InStock SH5 only Elite and Veteran Ships have this privilege, all other are restrictied to 50% during Cruise State.
They will still have their normal crew rate restricition. In Stock this restriction were cutted once again in Cruise State. Maybe this leads to the poor Aggro Managment.
This Mod is still Beta and have to be tested under several conditions.
My Current test belonging to a small single mission with 2 VW Destroyer wich are escorting one freighter.
In addition this Mod will be expanded. But that takes some time.


Hope you enjoy it.
