Yeah they've spotted SOMETHING, but what??? If it's me, for the most part they don't seem to want to do much about it. Many times I've killed or damaged several merchants and the DD's just sit there motionless, or maybe making 1-2 kts, flashing like fireflies at each other. Meanwhile I sit there at periscope depth in broad daylight, dead-calm seas, periscope up, picking out my next juicy target among the also-stationary merchantmen.
Personally, I think the Morse messages go something like this:
DD #1: "Hiroshi, spotted school of tuna, bearing 148 deg, range 1.2 km!!! You hungry???"
DD# 2: "Msg acknowledged, Shoichi! Hold position while I rig the tuna nets! Been so long since I've had any sashimi, I don't want to miss this kill!!!! Start making the sauce, how is your stock of wasabi?"
All seriousness aside, the AI needs some help. Sank a medium freighter the other night, it took a while to go down. 2 of the DD escorts
slowly converged at the stern of the freighter and ended up at a complete stop in a head-to-head impasse. Neither would give ground to the other, and they both sat there for 20 minutes at least. Both blinking like mad at each other, I imagine it was like:
"Get out of my way!!!"
"No, YOU get out of MY way!!!!"
"I'm not moving!!! YOU move!!!"
Kind of amusing actually.
