Both my mod and original DW doctrine just approaches target, then returns to orignal COORDINATES. Not to launching platform (there is no way how to get launching platform in doctrine language).
Original doctrine fails to follow target sub into depth - it does not know targets depth (target source says Visual and depht is 0) so with original doctrine DSRV surfaces and stays surfaced. It follows target on surface. There is code in original doctrine to return to launching depth while returning (I have never seen it to do so anyway).
My doctrine and DB modifications utilize active sonar on DSRV for getting target's depth. So my DSRV can go in depth and hower just few metres above the target. Then it returns to original coordinates and depth.
DSRV can't dock by doctrine language. There is no such command. There is LAND and ReturnToBase, neither of them does anyhing. Land is even in original doctrine after DSRV return to launch coordinates. As far as I know DSRV when launched just can't return, same as Seals can't. You could maybe do that by script in scenario (detect approach, remove DSRV from water and add DSRV to loadout .. will try).
But my biggest problem and big questionmark in my head is this: Active sonar I made for the DSRV does not 'see' friendly subs. Only enemy subs. I tried also passive, same thing. I thought there is some flag for the sensor in database saying 'read only enemy contacts' - but there is none ! On the other hand, torpedoes can read all subs. How is it done ? Is it something special for weapon class ?
If DSRV could read all subs, I could make it track launching platform on its way back.
Also .. torpedoes pings faster as they approach target. My DSRV does not. How is this done ?
