First time an AI sub went active on me!
 

Well, that's never happened!

Hunting an LA Flt 1 in a Victor III, creeping along at 2 kts, above the layer - he pinged me with active sonar! Whoa!

I pinged back, but couldn't detect him, fired a Shkval and 3 USET-80s along the bearing before evading - the Shkval and 2 USETs hit!

A good (and surprising) stoush - going from quiet boredom to pushing buttons everywhere! :arrgh!:

His 3 Adcaps successfully evaded!

Looking at the replay, he fired from 4.4 NM :Kaleun_Cheers:

Yes, that is indeed weird to get pinged from an American sub unprovoked haha.

That's interesting.
Are you sure you didn't accidently hit ping first?

I know in RA, whenever I ping the AI Sub, they will return a ping

Saw this today myself. AI akula, pinged once and then immediately fired.

It seems the AI sub commanders in RA have learned some new tactics!
