I have been a little concerned about the enemy AI too.
My watch crew seem a little bit myopic. They only see aircraft at about 3000 meters at the moment (may be something to do with morale or experience? dunno yet). By the time I order a crash dive the planes are pretty much flying right over me.
But - this is the thing.
The aircraft never seem to actually spot me, even though the nearest pass was about 400 meters.
Tried a single mission attacking a convoy. Instead of attacking I decided to get noticed and see how easy it was to evade.
Flank speed to the convoy until I got a visual.
Then ran at flank speed at periscope depth at the nearest DD.
Circled around at flank speed till I got the attention of 3 of 'em.
Admittedly is was ****ty weather.
But still.
There was three of 'em. I evaded them pretty easily.
Couple of things spring to mind.
1. I have played SH3 and SH4 extensively so I am conversant in sub evasion techniques.
This may have helped me out here.
2. I remember in STOCK SH3 and SH4 the escorts being a bit of a pushover.
I suspect that this is more the case here.
