Is the A.I. stupid or what ?

Permission to come aboard sirs ?

Hello all,
First post here and thought I'd say hello. Just installed SHIV a week ago and running 1.5 with GFO, and think I've gotten all of 8 hours of sleep all week as I'm totally hooked. I've got flashbacks of SS2 but better graphics, but somehow am confused about the A.I. My second mission in my career (Tambor boat) puts me in a patrol in the NW corner if the south china sea where I spot a slow moving convoy of medium tankers and freighters protected by 4 destroyers, so I pop up the scope about 5 miles out to draw in the destroyers (which works) then drop down below the layer and engage silent running and head for the fleet. I pop up again 1000 yards abreast of the convoy, let loose a salvo taking out the 3 lead ships which brings the destroyers back at flank speed. I drop back down below the layer and shadow the convoy for another hour and notice the destroyers head back out to resume the search from before the first sinking, and again pop up to take 2 more kills (again drawing the destroyers back) and go deep again. Like clockwork, an hour later the destroyers head back to the initial search area, and as before I take a couple more tankers.

Am kinda wondering if these A.I destroyers are acting normally for SH4, or perhaps they're 'green' being so early in the war.

Also wondering if there is a greenlight mod for the GFO addon.

Great site BTW.
