But, yes, the ship dying noises is cool and I wish we could hear it through the hydrophone as well.

AI. There is a mix of very smart DD and very dumb DD. I, like you, seem to find the very dumb ones. Also, I might be speaking out of line here but I believe the early war you will find DD that are not very bright and do not ping in search of you. Later on in the war they become more aggressive. Again, this is only speculation on my part as I finally have been able to run a few partrols in the early war and this has been my experience thus far. I do know the next release is using the new environment mod and AI detection needs to be worked on because the AI can find you much to easily. So, that is a good thing.

Anyway, join the RFB forum or just view the threads to see what is happening, up coming and add your observations. Link below:

PS: I run just RFB and RSRD (patches includes) like you so we are pretty much on the same page.

Well hopefully the AI will kick in at some point. After posting that message I went on two more patrols... really wish there were some way to skip from one way point to the next... gads waiting for the time it takes to move from Pearl to mission points reminds me of the REAL THING... ARGH such a pain... Anyhow, the first mission I sank two full convoys of ships plus a few other stragglers. Got a bronze out of it. Second mission I sank 1 huge convoy, just sank two CA's in a small flotilla with no other ships, sank 1 small convoy and a myriad of other stragglers. Have not docked yet as I saved and fell asleep but suffice it to say all of this has been a cakewalk. I have not even dented the paint on my sub yet... in fact it still has that 'new sub' smell! LOL

So either something is not working right, or the AI is still just superbly dumb even with RFB and RSRD. I know my real life experience is helpful in playing but not to this extent.
