I'm voting on this post. It is a mixed bag with the DD, some are kick butt and others are deaf and blind. One nice thing is you do not know what you are going to get so running at them like a nut can be successful or you could be very dead. I find more lack luster than Deadeye Dick at the helm of the DD. There needs to more consistency with the Deadeye Dick to keep it interesting. Last night I decimated an entire convoy after blasting three DD with my deck cannon. Not what I call realistic. Also, the AI merchant need to act like the merchant should, zig-zag and full ahead. I see very little of this.

Right now I see the AI tuned for the casual gamer looking to blast everything and having a great time at it. No problem there, desired effect achieved. Luckly for guys looking to simulate closely what it was like we have guys like Ducimus who tweek the AI and make them harder to handle. I have not installed the harder AI as yet, waiting on next patch for that. All in all at this point, the AI DD are not that bad, IMHO.
