Hi everyone I am new to the forums! I started playing SH3 this week and I've noticed that every time I have an encounter with a destroyer he throws out depth charges and misses completely. I stayed in a straight line at full speed btw and even increased the time compression. Is the AI stupid or something or is that just the way the game is. I remember when I used to play SH2 it seemed the AI knew where you were and almost always kicked my ass.

1. At what - game - year did that happen? Early in the war escorts are not "smart" enough to detect and attack U-booten succesfully.

2. You may have run into a novice escort. There are levels in the effeciency of the escorts : novice , normal , advanced and elite IIRC.

Consider Yourself Lucky. :o :o


Best of luck in '44 :salute:

And for the record, ALL Submarines Sink. :rotfl2:

But on a more serious note, are you playing the game stock, or modded? Most of the mega-mods to my knowledge (and GWX for sure) makes the AI considerably more intelligent, with much more realistic (hard) sensors.

Sounds like your playing the stock/vanilla version of the game and in the early years.

If so, it will get harder but not too much so.

That's why I get an IXC soonest and go and hide in South America.

I'm playing the original vanilla version it's not modded at all. Any mods to make the AI more intelligent ?
