Well done!
from the point of view of the AI and destroyer capabilities agression etc etc..you might find this usefull..

http://www.ebort2.co.uk/files/AIFight2.zip


it's a small AI agression mod i made a while back to satisfy a few problems of my own with the gameplay etc...
it's by no means an easy option regarding the difficulty levels the escorts present BUT and here's the main issue...they get in attack you and then get back to escorting the convoys etc..so one mistake doesn't leave you stranded in yet another interminable 3 hour dc attack...(i simply DONT HAVE THE TIME!!! and it's a bit of a illusion any way IMO..)

here what happens is that even tho the AI is much tougher than stock..they can be fooled...and their weak spots can be exploited ..a DD detects you at say 5000 metres from the convoy..on one of his periodic sensor sweeps out to one side of the ships...zooms over attacks perhaps twice then heads at flank back to his escort position...meaning....you can happily follow him in at a reasonable rate of knots....your now in his blind spot..
anyway that's the sort of tactic you can employ with the mod..amoungst others best left to the individual to discover..find your own "picard maneuvers" to coin a phrase etc..that's what the twist is supposed to be about right?..get it wrong and your in for problems but if you survive then you haven't spent 3 hours wiggling about at 150 metres for no obvious benifit! (as stock there is NO picard maneuver again ,to coin a phrase..you can't lose the escorts..it only appears that way IMO)

anyhuw.i made this mod for those folks who realy enjoy the game BUT can't be doing with all the faffing about!
a game is a game is a game..it's meant to be individualy entertaining...and serves no other real purpose AFAIK!
