[REQ] Destroyer AI

captainprid · 03-22-10, 05:50 AM

This is without doubt the most annoying part of this game for me..... I know other people have brought this up so I'm sorry if this is rehashing what other people have already said...

I'm in early 1942 and I have only been depthcharged once!!!!! Even then only 3 times before she went off elsewhere. I'm aware that when on convoy duty, destroyers were ordered to protect the convoy rather than chase off after a submarine unless it was a direct threat but I have come across a few hunter/killer groups and even they seem reluctant to fight it out. All I have to do is dive to 50+ metres turn to port/starboard and they can't find me......

If the modders can't come up with anything, I really hope UBI make this their top priority with the next patch

I feel the same way about the destroyer AI. I meaan it does get kind of boring getting away with your attack on a convoy. The AI does a real sloppy job of trying to find so. If they do they do so , not fast enought , not aggresive anought either. Its is if these guys are all stoned or something. Oh well the royal air force doesnt do a better job.

I don`t know if it helps but maybe it will a little.
data/cfg/sim.cfg
Try to change these lines:
[Hydrophone]
.
.
.
Thermal Layer Signal Attenuation=3.0->2,1.0

[Sonar]
.
.
.
Thermal Layer Signal Attenuation=5.0-> 4,3,2,1.0 etc

Lower numbers mean tougher escorts.
