Essentiall, in SHIII, the AI forgets that you ever where there is under an hour .
It needs to be that if you sink a ship in location A that staying there is dangerous so it is best to move to location B.

To sum this up, it's what I've been saying all along:
SHIII has tactical AI (which is far from perfect), but lacks a strategic AI (all "strategic" movements are purely random and aren't in any way affected by a player's actions).
The lack of a strategic AI is what, to me, disqualifies SHIII from having a true dynamic campaign (as opposed to Falcon 4.0, for example). I think this is something that a real dynamic subsim will need.
It's probably a big undertaking, and I seriously doubt we'll see it in SHIV. Granted, I'd be willing to let it go if it means more work on the tactical AI - I'd rather have a fully-working tactical AI than a half-working tactical AI (as we have it now) and a half-working strategic AI.
:hmm:
