I believe I once read here that if your AI seems to be less than agressive, that some have uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Of course that doesn't do if you have massive mods installed already.

I bought the download version of the game, rather than the boxed version and I tell you the AI makes me sweat bullets for hours.

Last night I had two DDs chasing my butt down. I was in shallow water and at 33m I bottomed out on the floor. Retracting the scope barely allowed 2 feet of water between the top of my conning tower and the keel of the DDs as they passed over my position. (But as I was in silent mode and all stop and hugging the bottom of the floor they couldn't find me despite being pinged multiple times.

After about 35 minutes of sitting there and using external camera to watch them, (one actually stopped short of my position and did an all stop too, and sat there for a good 10 minutes before getting underway again.) The other DD mistook a bad ping and started droppin DCs about 200 yards off my stern ... it was still an uncomfortable situation.

Once I got underway, had to rise to PD go get moving, I was pinged and the chase began! For the next hour it was zig and zag and vary the speed and depth ... in the end, after an hour or so, they DC'd me to the end.
