Yeah me too. The AI is really a problem, last night I torpedoed a carrier and was able to stay at periscope depth watching it sink whilst all the DD's were searching completely the wrong area.

The only reason they were searching was because of a mod I have installed, had it been vanilla they would have most likely just sailed on.

AI for ships and aircraft, correct mast highs for distance measuring and correct torpedo speeds for the TDC are the three main issues bothering me right now. If these are fixed the game would make a huge step towards playability, especially when it comes to the more realistic settings.

If this is true, then the modders should do a universal plea directly to ubisoft romania and/or the ubisoft website.

Here, you are preaching to the choir

...or educate and enable modders into these areas.

I am told:
AI is moddable in the game

a) Go to: […]\SilentHunter5\data\Scripts\AI There are a lot of *.aix files there (plain text, containing the logic for the AI)
b) Go to: […]\SilentHunter5\data\Cfg – you have sim.cfg and sensors.cfg
c) Also, open ships in GoblinEditor, merge the *.sim file – there are the AI controllers, with various parameters for tuning

I wonder if they can fix the escort that I saw last night, running convoy duty while steaming backwards.

I wish I had got the screenshot....I had attacked a convoy and they came searching for me. When this one gave up, he headed back to the convoy backwards.

Couple that with Neal's video, and I see a huge need to fix these things.

Consider that a "feature" - a new ASW tactic by the Allies. If they travel backwards, they think they will confuse Uboat Kaleuns and make it difficult to get a firing solution.

Are you sure everything in AI can be modded from there or is there something modders can't touch? Just curious. I don't own SH5 yet just want to stay updated when it's worth to buy.

Thats also what I know...

Well thats great news! If its all there then SH5 is going to be superb one day.

PS: I love the "i am told" bit. At least there is some communication occuring! :-)
