Seem to be REEEAALLLYY incompetent!! I'm using Kakemann's improved escorts ver 1.4 but it dosent seem to help them at all..Is there a better one for SH4 1.4?

Well--I'd have to recommend RFB for 1.4 (also modded in 1.5x). The issue with stock escorts is their active sonar range is too short. (My opinion). If you go deep and under the layer, the poor little guys really don't stand a chance. In RFB the ranges have been extended while still making evasion doable. It all depends on what you run into for crew quality of the escorts and the weather conditions--both huge factors.

Or you can go here:

and down load my original modded AI_sensors file. It should work well with stock 1.4 as it's what I originally tested it with.

yea I'm running FOTRS and they're still chumps

As general protocol I always duck under the layer right after throwing a spread of fish at my target(s), whenever escorts are nearby, then creep away at 2/3 speed on Silent Running, while praying. It's not that I don't want to give them a chance, it's just that it's unpredictable at times, and once I had some depth charges dropped right onto my propellers...

clay the escorts arent weak your just talented

you can try using the sensors_AI.dat from TMO and that should make them tougher.

just creat a file structure to add it as a seperate mod then if your not happy you can tweak it yourself.
