It´s about creating an illusion for the player that the "ai" vessles are performing
like they are controlled by a human crew. Especially making the ai imperfect in some cases is a hard task for the programmers.
Personal i hope the develepers had managed to improve the "ai" a little over SH3
and sorted out some flaws it had in that game.
I asked some specific question about current AI in another thread, hoping they´re answered by a happy captain who already has the game...

i can only comment on a brief experience at the moment but i think the destroyers seem somewhat dumber than in SHIII this is based on an engagement during early 41. so may not be a problem in later years.
i entered a convoy ( of wich there are an insane amount) and didnt bother to submerge till i was well within visual range, i didnt exactly sneak in either. and ran along at standard speed. the destroyers never bothered to come back and look for me.
a second one the next day spotted me and engaged with surface guns, i was hit ( no audio confirmation that i took damage) and submerged. dived to about 30 metres, and went silent running.
now i dont think it even made an attack run, i wasnt depth charged and simply made 2 course changes and left the area.
i seem to recall those damn things in SH3 haunting me for hours while i ran around in circles at the bottom of the sea.
ill look into it more when i get back from work. as it is i do find it a little worrying.
