If you leave the values as is (don't edit the init.aix), aka as designed, then everything is as it should be

The link to the upgrade to v0.034.1 leads us to the upgrade to v0.030.1

Aha! In that case, I'll report back on the performance as & when I encounter them.

Yep, it's ok. That 'upgrade' is just one file - sim.cfg. This file makes the AI easier to cope with

Why are you using the upgrade? Have you tried the enemy AI without the upgrade? I find the upgrade makes them WAY too easy to evade/escape from

I'm currently testing v35. Watching the new (again) AI sub behavior to ensure they don't get slaughtered by the ship's gunfire along with some other things

Ok , i wont use the upgrade . I had a ctd so i will send you the Dbgview .

v35 is shaping up to be another great version

v0.0.35 - made changes to sim.cfg to make it a little easier for AI to detect you
- enemy is allowed to search for contact longer
- operation plaster now has ability to ram contact if close enough to the surface
- HK leader now has ability to ram contact if close enough to the surface
- corrected bug where if leader was unable to follow waypoints it could possibly come to all stop (and the rest of the ships in group come to all stop also)
- more optimizations done
- changed how AI ships can fire guns at submerged contacts. If they spot you visually or they spot you on sonar (not hydro!) and you are <= 20m depth and within 8000m they will open fire
- rewrote sub AI so they don't get slaughtered by ship gunfire (they minimize exposure to it)
- corrected bug where if single unit was unable to follow waypoints it could come to all stop
- changed hedgehogs fall speed to 6.5
- changed hedgehogs launcher to max range of 200, diameter to 70
- fixed bug of when torpedo detected a unit could come to all stop vice trying to avoid torpedo
- Airplanes now hang around if they have cannons available and will not resume waypoints until your sub has submerged or it runs out of ammo. Also if a plane has no bombs and no torpedoes but it has cannons then it will come and investigate you (in previous versions it would just keep following waypoints)
- Airplanes (excluding torpedo bombers) now change altitudes as they are coming to investigate you, drop bombs on you, or shell you to death. This is something I've been trying to do for many months!
- When an airplane initially spots a contact it will drop down close to the water surface for it's initial run. If it's a torpedo bomber then it will stay close to the water until it delivers it's torpedo. If it's a bomber or a plane that has no bombs or torpedoes then it will pop up and make it's 'bomb run' at 3000m from the contact. This makes for a very nasty surprise because you have little to no warning that an airplane is tracking you!

Note the entries about the airplanes

Hope to have this available here very soon

You should take these from my add-on mods thread

You were correct. I have removed that link as I feel you do not need to dumb down the AI anymore.

v0.0.35 released. See post #1

The new hell just got worse

THE_MASK · 04-25-12, 02:57 AM

Playing with realistic sensors enabled in the ingame options .
I tried to attack a convoy from within but had no chance against the dds . You will need to shadow the convoy and wait for wolfpack or try a spread shot from a long way off if there is lots of dds . Actually in hindsite i should have radioed the convoy in and then scouted for a few days to see how many dds there were . Star shells , ramming , the pinpoint accuracy is gone . Lost for words actually . You have taken the AI and made it realistic . Brilliant . I did notice when firing a salvo at the convoy from a few kilometers away , as soon as i fired the torps the ships all fired there star shells . would it be possible to have a delay . I think i will start a new campaign and just cruise up and down Kiel harbor , too scared to go anywhere else .

Sartoris · 04-25-12, 03:04 AM

Another new version! You are a machine, TDW!

I'll try my best to test it today before I go to work and post my impressions here.

That will be a hard one to do

I might have an idea...

No machine, just determined. Once something pisses me off (common in software) I will work tirelessly to fix it or make it do what I want it to do (exploitation). I was playing the game and the AI pissed me off royally because it was acting completely dumb. I couldn't take it anymore

I'd been putting off working on the new versions of IRAI long enough. It was time to put the GR2 Editor/Viewer to the side for a little while and put my modding hat back on

Today I will look into all the problems that have been reported with Scapa Flow to see what the AI is doing/not doing. I have to update my OHII first then I'm off to Scapa
