Stupid lone ship AI!

It's seems that lone merchants only zig-zag if they become aware of the presence of an enemy ship by visual means.

So, I put two T1s at long range (surface dusk heavy seas) into a merchant. Being that it was unable to spot me, it continued on a straight course despite having taken two hits. In other words, getting hit by a torpedo is not sufficient indication that there is a threat observing you. That's funny!

Just another reassuring reminder that you're at war with mindless, scripted code, not fellow human beings.

It's like the premature explosions of torpedoes. Merchies and escorts don't pay attention to them.

A definite hit to one's ego. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Well, yet another case of SH1 ahead of SHx. In SH1 as soon as a dud blows, you hear the Japanese escorts go active.
