surely a sub at 160 metres, 0 knots and rigged for silent running shouldnt be heard by hydrophones? have they forgotten they have asdic?? and if they can hear me for some weird reason why arent they attacking me??
i realise this aint a GWX problem just the retarded AI at its best. how can it be so hard to program detroyers to act like destroyers, hell they done it in SH1 after all!
has anyone had any joy using any other AI mod?

4 destroyers?????? No wonder they had a field day with you. All 4 working together.....perhaps it would have been best to turn on your heels and leave. I would be hard pressed to attack with 4 destroyers hanging around. Put that is just me.
Ok, as far as going silent and all stop. Of couse the destroyers will still circle your last known contact point. They know you did not blast off to the other side of the ocean....they know you are sitting below...just do not have the exact location. Seems realistic to me.....what, did the warships detect and lose contact then move on 5 minutes later....NO, they hung out in hopes to detect you again. Come on folks, you are not going to dive, go silent then have the warships move on 5 minutes later. Complete hog wash. They would circle and keep you down if they could take all day to do so they did.
Furthermore, I went by a destroyer on the surface on a clear night at 500m undetected.Hell, I was doing 10 knots and making all kinds of noise. The destroyer went on by and did not flinch. This was 1939. Furthermore I evaded an armed trawler and destroyer without issue. I was submerged at 1 kt and countered every search pattern they used. I got close to the bottom in hopes to throw off the ASDIC.
The time for arcade warships is over. "BE MORE AGGRESSIVE"
One more thing....did every u-boat that used every method of evasion work? NO! Be prepared to give up on some patrols and become a prisioner of war! Thanks GWX for making it real!
