Why DDs ignore my submarine??

Chevelless · 06-15-11, 08:48 PM

Well, I have created a historical mission in the mission editor, but in game, escort DDs did not give me a glance at all until I ahead flank or rise my periscope very high or I surface my boat. What's the problem?

the steps of this historical mission are as following:

1.created a new mission, select the sea layer on the right, Roster is british, and drag 3 battleships HMS Queen Elizabeth,HMS Barham,HMS Valiant to the map, set their speed to 18 kts.

2.right click the HMS QE and click "create group from the unit" then raname the group "A" in the left property options.

3.drag 8 destroyers from the "sea" layer to the map, arrange them to group "A", modify speed to 18 knots. Other properties remain default so their icons dissappear.

4.arrange the group so that all 11 ships look nice, three battleships a line with eight destroyers arround. Then add waypoint for the group and make them head to the waypoint.

5.drag a VIIC boat, and set relative properties , then objective, trigger, then validate the mission, all seems as usual.

6, In game, I encountered the group, Having got my position, I fired at all three battleships, no torpedo missed, but those stupid destroyers still move on its own way and throughly ignored my boat. If I remember right, they should turn and rush toward my location once any of three battleships are torpedoed, but they didn't. All three battleships sunk, they still didnt notice me, only rush to their next waypoint without and escort/attack/seek behaviours.

What's wong with this mission? Why these destroyers ignore my boat??Or have I just made some mistakes when I create the mission??

:damn :

It's called "dry humor" Trouble is once you have to stop and explain, it ceases to be funny.

Do you have any type of AI mod installed? If not, then yes, I would expect this kind of behavior from the stock AI.

Well I can not fix the problem by myself, may I ask for help here.
If anyone would like to test this 10 minutes misson and find out where the problems are ? why destroyers not search for and attack me? Anyone would like to offer me a guidance so that those strange DDs behave as escorts?

you may download this mission here and then test it with IRAI or without IRAI.
