[WIP] D6 AI Detection

Bilge_Rat · 03-07-10, 07:19 AM

I tried version 1 on the PQ-17 mission.

I see the passive detection distance is much increased and goes much deeper than before.

at 80 meters at 1 knot, the passive coverage was still very extensive. In the stock game you are practically invisible at that depth.

I only had a chance for some limited testing and have not tested silent running yet.

My first impression is that it may be too effective and should be scaled back a bit from what you have now, but I will test some more.

One odd issue I noticed was with the behavior of the escorts. In the stock game, when I was detected, only 3-4 escorts came to investigate, now every escort came after me, leaving the convoy unprotected.

I am wondering if the increased detection effectiveness is overriding some AI script.

the version 1 DC damage seemed fine to me, I received from pretty heavy flooding from some very accurate depth charging.
