[REL] Patrol Routine Scripts

IRL, this was the job of the watch crew, and not that of the captain (he might have been asleep, or eating, or whatever). Relaying the 'plane spotted' message to the skipper and waiting for him to order the emergency dive would have wasted valuable seconds, so it was up to the watch crew to ring the alarm.

Can scripts replicate this behavior, so that the AI takes evasive maneuvers on its own?

For now it can't run when a plane is spotted. You still need to run the script.

TDW has however posted notes in the automation txt that commands we have in the tutorial files will be added to automation.
When this happen - the script you discribe will then be possible
