To add an AI for submarines that allows submerging, evading and such -and hence allow wolfpacks- by adding it to an extra DLL and then telling the game to read it, you would need to know how the game is programmed inside its exe so you can use the same format, right?

Can that be done?

Can it be done without -ilegally- reverse engineering the whole exe? :hmm:

And will all this be worth it?

On the legal aspect: All modding is a breach of the user agreement and therefor illegal without permission. So I would not worry too much about that.
