How do you find the enemy intelligence?

I'm just starting to play SH3 and I am wondering how is the AI in this game, especially as it relates to destroyers coming after you, and ships changing course once you announce your presence?

I had a patrol boat circle around me when I was submerged, with my periscope up, and sometimes it would shoot at me, and sometimes it would shoot 90 degrees away from me. Nor did it ever drop any depth charges though it had racks. So I surfaced and went at it with my deck gun, and after hitting it about 8 times, it finally exploded. I would think one shell would obliterate a little patrol boat.

As well, I have not been depth charged yet or pinged with ASDIC. Are there pings in this game?

Anyway, how do you find the enemy AI?

in which version?

stock? nygm? gwx?

in a super mod like GWX3 the AI is HIGHLY tweaked and deadly

I'm running stock but will be trying GWX. I hope my machine can run it? Does it put extra strain on the video card?

GWX has been optimized for those with less powerful computers to be able to run it. You may run into some stuttering and slowdowns when leaving port as it adds harbor traffic and patrol planes to your home ports, but when out on patrol you should have no problems if you can run stock SH3 fine.
