allied submarines

Hello, im new to subsim and i have a question:

Are there any allied submarines except your`s?

AirborneTD · 08-09-07, 12:13 PM

No, unfortunately. It would be nice to run into one occasionally heading to or from a patrol. Better yet, it would be cool to attack a convoy and watch other ships get torped by another friendly.

It is not difficult to make allied submarines attacking convoys and task forces. What's difficult is to get a player arrive to the fight scene before the fight is over.

Just like stock SH3 until GWX came along hopefully we will get a super mod in a year or two for SH4.

Ive spotted allied subs comming and goin from home port.

They are just surface 'traffic' though and not active participants.

AI subs were in SH3 long before GWX came along.

As to SH4, it is even easier to introduce AI subs in the campaign. There is no need for a revision of the entire campaign files or having a supermod, the AI subs can come as a separate section which is easy to plug into any campaign.

Actually, if Allied subs can be made with an AI to act like subs, then
Japanese subs could be included too. It would make SH4 like an entirely
new game....

Sub vs Sub combat was extremely rare. In fact Im not sure that there were any documented instances.

Much more common were subs working in packs... everyone knows that I guess but the point is it would be very difficult to program this.

Never saw one in two to three years before going GWX.

This is true...I have always wanted to have or see this in the Sub Sim Game.

It would be ultimate.
