[REQ] Shooting at periscopes

caine007 · 06-01-10, 04:32 AM

I've read a few accounts of sailors and crew aboard merchant ships firing at periscopes (or what they thought were periscopes) with machine guns and AA weapons.

I'm not sure how often in real life submarines got close enough to ships in fine enough conditions that merchantmen were able to spot periscopes but there have definitely been situations in game where my periscope has been spotted by a ship at very close range and were I aboard said victim I would be opening up with everything I had to try and spoil that sub's aim.

Is it possible to tweak the AI so they will fire upon spotted periscopes with light AA weapons?

Is it possible for this fire to damage a periscope?

I sort of had a brief look around how scripting works and it started making my head hurt.
