Honestly the AI was what made me like TMO a long time ago but I guess for me using the same attack patterns that best helped me avoid the AI that wound up making the game get very repetitive.

AI inflexibility will ruin a sim. I already stated this. I feel the same way about what I am experiencing in SHII. All of the old threads in the archives say how uber the AI is in the old game. However, they fall for the same stupid tactic every time; 1 point-blank torpedo at 800m bow-on-bow. I lose a torpedo to use on the convoy, but trade hassle-free hunting for it. The super-lookouts on merchants would really make me mad. I can see it on rare occasions, but they are merchants, not trained combat mariners. When a tanker or trawler spots running fish better than a DD or DE, something is wrong.

@Vontrapp where does Schwartzritter definitively say that he has never played TMO he obviously must have tried it if was able to read the PDF manual.

Actually, I heavily implied it with my words and he rightly called me out on it. No, I haven't played TMO. Seeing that statement in the manual is what killed it for me. The complaint threads helped, but it was the line in the manual.
