Do depth charges explosions blind DDs ?

Just reviewed Albrecht von Hesse's WIP mod...

The SH3 engine will not 'see' things created by particle generators, and so his mod would result in a visual effect only. For that reason, and apart from the obvious visual effects, I believe that his testers may have been observing natural behavior by the AI... as if his mod were not present.

If someone were to experiment with accoustic disturbances, I think they should take a look at the files responsible for the BOLD device... and consider melding its effects with depth charge physics.

HOWEVER!

ALL things concerning AI perception of the environment are finely balanced and are interdependant in numerous ways... ANY change will result in a deficit somewhere. One can EASILY destroy AI effectiveness and cause the simulation to be a threatless cake-walk.
