This is a bug in the (modified?) doctrines, I think. Or perhaps a feature gone wrong?

Thing is, if you're not identified as friendly, and you ping (or launch in their general direction, even if it would miss widely), the AI tends to assume you're hostile (ping -> preparing to launch a torpedo at them - makes a bit more sense against subs, at that), and try to get ahead of you by launching first.

Doesn't tend to happen if you're constantly pinging I think...


Either way, this creates a lot of blue-on-blue situations.
