Are you serious? Well, it makes perfect sense from a programming perspective, but if it's true, it's the funniest thing I have heard.

Wow, if you could just get lucky enough that a Liberator nicked another one ... that would be a dogfight to watch.

So that sounds like AI ship A does not "see" AI ship B, if B is between A and Uboat. It will shoot, not knowing B even exists? And if B is hit, suddenly they do know about each other?

Yet, when moving, they obviously know the others exist. If you manage to disrupt a convoy well enough, you even see them milling around, stopped in the water, pulling highspeed reverses. Valet parking to the nth degree.

Mysterious game, as always.
